I just picked up a copy of PC Powerplay from my local newsagent, mainly because it was running a major feature on F.E.A.R. I'm pretty sure it's an Australia-only mag but it has a very big circulation here.
Anyway, I get it home and out of its cellophane cover to find:
- a two page feature on Myst V which included the phrase "we can hardly wait"; and
- a four page retrospective on Beneath a Steel Sky!
The same magazine has also recently salivated over Fahrenheit, is highly anticipating Dreamfall, and even ran a column on A Vampyre Story a few months back.
I guess I'm just impressed / encouraged that such a mainstream publication (this is very much in the PC Gamer league as far as content goes) seems to be taking the genre on board with some enthusiasm of late.
Is this a developing trend with other publications or pretty much an isolated situation?
