RPS is about PC gaming – all of PC gaming, rather than just one of the weird and wonderful niches most other PC-centric sites confine themselves to. It’s written by four of Britain’s top games journalists, and it aims to cover everything from the latest breaking stories about the biggest releases to esoterica from the format’s obscurest peninsulas.
To contact us, just click… no, wait. Wait. Before you send that press release about your new iPhone game or link to a dog playing the Zelda theme tune on a noseflute, please remember that we are a PC-only site. That’s PC only. P.C. O.N.L.Y. Honestly, you’d be amazed how many people don’t realise that, or think their non-PC game is so incredigood that we’ll magically change our minds and become multiformat overnight. P.C. O.N.L.Y.
Alright, here’s the email address. You remembered we’re a PC-only site, right?
Oh – and if you want a reply, don’t Twitter us or private message us on the forum. Email us. Just like old times, eh? Also – aggressive-ish emails of the “shame on you for not covering game x” or “why haven’t you covered game x?” sort will be either ignored or responded to with a torrent of hatred, and possibly violence towards your pets. We’re just four guys doing this in our spare time. There are quite literally millions of PC games. Maths! Do it!
