Guide Review - Computer Pilot
Each issue of Computer Pilot has an impressive amount of content. It is surprising to see a magazine not overload with ads or subscription cards falling out every time the magazine is opened. It's a joy not to be bombarded by ads, but instead with quality articles that'll leave you wondering where you should start!
A good portion of Computer Pilot involves reviews. The reviews are thorough and well written. If the topic is a game you are interested in, you will know for sure if you should buy it or not. While reviews and previews are good to have, the sections I enjoy most involve reader mail and how to articles. We all want better performance out of our games. Computer Pilot often has suggestions on the topic, and walks you through the process.
So many gaming magazines try to cover too much, and end up covering a little of everything. Computer Pilot focuses only flight sims and is a treat to read.
