Wolfenstein 3D recieved a 10/10 score, well before Psychonauts. I doubt this. PCPP #52 was using a 'out of 100' scoring system. and this was dominant for some time. Anyone want to confirm?

PCPP used a 10/10 scoring system for the first 5 or so issues, but then changed to percentage. Wolfenstein was the first (and only as of issue ~#50, when i stopped reading) game to receive 100% (10/10 in the old system) 134.7.77.147 08:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Confirmed - PCPP used a 10/10 scoring system for the first few issues, but then changed to the percentage system for the majority of its life thereafter. Churba 04:17, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

To clarify, as an 'easter egg' of sorts, the 10/10 was a special retro-scoring system used only for Wolfenstein in that particular issue as it was part of a trial run of 'retro reviews'. They didn't last too long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.101.101.219 (talk) 11:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Yep, that's fixed now - The link now points to The PCPP site. Churba 04:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Changed forum link to match the actual location of the forum. forums.pcpowerplay.com.au is a redirect to www.pcpowerplay.com.au/forums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.101.101.219 (talk) 13:32, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Crysis Issues
A paragraph was added complaining about a specific review in a specific issue of the magazine. Removed this paragraph as it did not cite references, or even use correct spelling! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.28.183 (talk) 23:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Mention of Forums
Should the rather active PCPP Forums be mentioned in the article? There is a column in the magazine for them, after all... 58.107.97.58 (talk) 09:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Forum Creation Date Error
The forums were not created in 2002. November 2002 is when the original PCPowerPlay and sister (mother?) magazine Hyper forums (which were hand-coded and shared the same MS Access db) were converted over to phpBB2. The November 2002 date came into effect as a script was made to import the users of the forums. Interestingly, the method at the time involved giving users fair warning and asking them to put 'HYPER' or 'PCPOWERPLAY' in their forum signatures... User accounts with these values would be recreated in the 'new' phpbb2 forums. If a user had the same account name on both the Hyper and PCPP forums, they could put 'HYPER PCPOWERPLAY' in their sig. Whichever came first was the data replicated to both new forum installs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.101.101.219 (talk) 11:43, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Not listing all of the regulars
I really don't think that this page should list all of the regular sections of the magazine (in the "main sections" part). It should just say something like "there are opinion pieces and hardware benchmarks", etc. It looks unprofessional, and it's unnecessary for people wanting to know about the magazine.

Well it is a magazine page after all. If we did not include the sections, there would be nothing to write about! :P Tonyxc600 (talk) 22:05, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Cover, format edits, corrections
Added cover art, shall photoshop the modern logo to add above (much like HYPER>> and Gamestar. Also correcting many things (e.g: Found "It has" rather than "It had" for deleted sections no longer used). AND aside from correcting CD-ROM and DVD-ROM links, also added the fact that BOTH editions existed while gamers made the (expensive) transition. It was like DVD to BR ended up when that came out. - CertifiableNut (talk) 12:04, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Article is out of date
PC PowerPlay doesn't seem to exist anymore, nor hasn't for a few years. Their website links to PC Gamer, so I'm guessing it got absorbed into that? 222.153.34.103 (talk) 10:58, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
