Bournemouth-based publisher announces November launch for new PC and online games magazine, Total PC Gaming
Imagine Publishing is proud to announce the launch of an exciting and
innovative PC games magazine on sale on 8 November. Total PC Gaming is
the latest next-generation launch into the PC games magazine market,
offering a fresh alternative for the games industry, advertisers and
readers.
Total PC Gaming retails at £3.99 for 148 pages, making
it the biggest and best-value PC games magazine available. The magazine
is a complete resource for hardcore gamers and covers all aspects of
contemporary PC gaming with special focus on areas neglected by the
current competitors, such as MMORPG, retro gaming and hardware, along
with previews and reviews of the latest games.
Each issue
includes an innovative 20-page mini-mag – MMO Worlds – dedicated to the
huge MMORPG market, currently the fastest-growing sector of the games
market with millions of players worldwide. The huge hardware section
offers group tests and reviews of the latest gaming hardware with
emphasis on performance tests for gamers who constantly upgrade their
kit. The unique retro section is packed with backwards looks at the
classics of PC gaming for those who fondly remember the games of their
youth.
Dave Harfield, Editor in Chief, commented: “It’s the most
comprehensive PC games magazine available, covering all genres of
games, along with advice on buying and configuring hardware for the
best possible performance. Total PC Gaming is the magazine that every
PC gamer needs.”
“The PC gaming fraternity has been crying out
for an alternative option in a market that has been dominated by one
publisher for over a decade.” Said Advertising Manager James Hanslip.
“Industry
support has been fantastic with the fresh ideas welcomed and aggressive
price point of £3.99, the lowest in the marketplace, making the title
highly accessible. The increased competition this title will offer is
ultimately great news for advertisers offering a true alternative
marketing platform in an extremely high quality product” Hanslip added.
