Welcome to the latest edition
of the PC Gamer Annual. In
this special compilation, we’ve
compiled the best games,
features and Extra Life
mischief from the magazine’s
last 13 issues. We celebrate the
diversity of PC gaming as a
platform in the latest version of
our annual Top 100 list, but
also address those areas where
the medium can still improve.
On page 40, we investigate
crunch in videogame development, and speak
to the devs who are trying to kill it for good. On
page 62, we take you back in time and behind
the scenes of Quake’s AFT, the first all-female
pro-gaming tournament. And on page 84, we
pay tribute to eight classics that changed PC
gaming forever.T A L K T O
