Computer Mags

I'm looking to get a computer magazine (mainly about gaming). I want a clean one (I quit PCGamer cause it was turning into a PCaccelerator mag, and getting me in hot water with my parents). It also needs a demo disc! Thats most inportant cause I'm dialup. I live in US if that makes a diff.

What are your ideas? I may have to go back to PCG, but I'd rather not if possible.

I used to enjoy reading maximum pc - it usually came with a demo disc. I think the subscription rates were significantly cheaper than the retail price. It's not a gaming mag, but usually included hot game demos on the cd.

I have gotten some useful info and some nice free utilities from MaximumPC.The new kid on the block,CPU(computer power users)Magazine has a great list of contributors but with only 4 issues,the jury is still out.
I still miss MaximumLinux

Maximum PC is good as far as print goes.

I love MPC (Maximum PC ) Good articles, funny too Demo disks are full of use full stuff too they are about $8 each here but if you subscribe they its only 29.95 for 12 issues with CDs. Quite a bit off from $8 in singles....
