href="/wiki/Computer_magazine" title="Computer magazine">computer magazine</a> published in the United Kingdom by <a href="/wiki/Future_plc" title="Future plc">Future plc</a>, and licensed to other publishers in countries around the world. In publication between 1991 and 2015, it was part of Future plc's <i>Format</i> series of magazines that include articles about games, entertainment and how to get the most out of the platform. Despite the occasional mention of alternatives, <i>PC Format</i> takes the term '<a href="/wiki/Personal_Computer" class="mw-redirect" title="Personal Computer">PC</a>' to mean a <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Windows" title="Microsoft Windows">Microsoft Windows</a>-based computer. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Details">Details</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=PC_Format&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Details"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Aimed at a reader with an age of around 30, <i>PCF</i> was far more irreverent and opinionated than its competition, edging it towards being a lifestyle magazine as well as a computing one. In its earlier days, it promoted itself as a PC entertainment magazine - meaning it was not aimed at the business market, and it was not aimed at solely games. This included content such as <a href="/wiki/Non-linear_editing_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-linear editing system">video editing</a>, animation, <a href="/wiki/Web_design" title="Web design">web design</a>, and others - many of which were not very common on the PC at the time. </p><p><i>PC Format</i> included a cover disk or cover CD, similar to many other computer magazines. Initially these were in 5¼" and 3½" inch <a href="/wiki/Floppy_disk" title="Floppy disk">floppy disk</a> formats; this standard progressed to <a href="/wiki/CD-ROM" title="CD-ROM">CD-ROM</a> and <a href="/wiki/DVD-ROM" class="mw-redirect" title="DVD-ROM">DVD-ROM</a> as technology advanced. </p><p><i>PC Format</i> prided itself on being unbiased with its reviews, and frequently gave low scores to blockbuster games its reviewers considered poor quality. It used the full range of 0-100% for its game reviews, rather than having 50% for a bad game and 100% for a great game. The magazine rarely awarded anything between 30% and 50%, showing radical scores for games with the belief mediocre games are difficult to review. Scores over 90% were very rarely granted. If a game scored above 90% it received a PCF Gold award. Before the magazine was redesigned in January 2007, the magazine also awarded 80% plus scores with a high score or top gear award. </p><p>Immediately prior to <i>PC Format</i>'s launch, the <i>Format</i> series encompassed three platforms - <i><a href="/wiki/Commodore_Format" title="Commodore Format">Commodore Format</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/ST_Format" title="ST Format">ST Format</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Amiga_Format" title="Amiga Format">Amiga Format</a></i>. The magazines in the 'Format' series on the date of its last publication were <i><a href="/wiki/MacFormat" title="MacFormat">MacFormat</a></i> (launched 1993), <i><a href="/wiki/Linux_Format" title="Linux Format">Linux Format</a></i> (launched 2000), and <i>PC Format</i>; as of 2023 only <i><a href="/wiki/MacFormat" title="MacFormat">MacFormat</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Linux_Format" title="Linux Format">Linux Format</a></i> are still published. </p><p>PCFormat's website was part of the <a href="/wiki/TechRadar.com" class="mw-redirect" title="TechRadar.com">TechRadar.com</a> network of sites, Future plc's technology portal. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Content">Content</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=PC_Format&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Content"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The main content of the magazine included previews and reviews of the latest games, software and hardware reviews, computing news, a wide range of tutorials and a technical help section. It also included left-field and investigative features on wider computing culture. Since the final redesign, the magazine focused more on games (PLAY) and performance hardware (WIRED), instead of the greater range previously explored. There was then also a much greater emphasis on <a href="/wiki/Overclocking" title="Overclocking">Overclocking</a> and <a href="/wiki/Modding" title="Modding">Modding</a> articles, keeping in line with the new performance hardware and gaming focus. </p><p>The magazine gradually shifted its focus away from games, concentrating more on hardware. As of the September 2010 issue, typically no more than four games were reviewed each month. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Format_as_of_January_2007">Format as of January 2007</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=PC_Format&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Format as of January 2007"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Download: Technology and PC news, previously included monthly Guerrilla Testing for solving often irrelevant computing issues.
