PC Zone and PC Review were excellent PC gaming mags. Nowadays it's rare to find ones that are independent enough from games publishers, as people are willing to spend less on them, so they depend more on advertising. Even worse when reviewers want to review early copies receiving them for free before official release, in that case they totally depend on devs and publishers and the conflict of interest is blatant. Probably this potential problem existed also in the past, but publishers were less powerful than now and the best and most renowned and independet mags were a lot more important. Prostitute gaming journalists existed back then too anyway.
