In this increasingly visual and technological world, what's hot is a combination of computers and entertainment materialized in PC games. With each advance in computer technology, video games become more interactive, more realistic and virtually without limits. Here to be your guide in the lightening-fast market of games is PC Accelerator, abbreviated by its editors as PCXL, bringing its readers bigger, better, faster games.

Graphically design-ed as a mixture of comic books and detailed government plans, PCXL has strategy guides for the most popular games. It's the perfect magazine for the person who wants to know every detail of every game. Who knows when you'll need to know exactly how to use a Plasma Gun or Quantum Destabilizer. PCXL gives its readers up-to-the-minute details on the hottest games.

Mike Salmon, Editor-in-Chief of PCXL, revels in the early success of his newly-launched magazine "which has been given more love than the only female in North Dakota."

PCXL comes with such freebies as CDs, with 15 demos games, allowing the reader to preview the games described within the magazine.

Departments include "Techphiles" (spotlighting the best hardware for your PC) and "Play by Play" (focusing on sports games). Interspersed throughout the gaming strategies are some of the "perks" targeted at the predominantly male readership. You guessed ithalf-naked women.

Advertising themselves as being on the side of bad taste and promising never to cross that line, PCXL brings its readers such features as the fun of drinking and driving games. They thoughtfully warn that they are against such real life activity and threatens "anyone who drinks and drives should be tied to the door of Oprah's lunchroom right before the show's noon break." Following through on their promise to stay on the side of bad taste.
