PC Zone catered to personal computer owners and became iconic among PC gaming enthusiasts. The magazine provided in-depth game reviews, guides, developer interviews, and hardware articles, as computers and components were also a big part of its audience. It was famous for its blunt criticism and bold opinions, as well as for its provocative and humorous columns that often questioned the mainstream view. Despite its closure in 2007, the legacy of PC Zone continues to live on in the memories of old fans, as well as in articles and blogs that frequently cite its issues.
