A Long Lost Friend, PCXL Is Back...Sort of

mclazyj | September 28, 2007 | Blog | PC Misc

In June 2000, a great gaming magazine that was no holds barred in its take on the gaming community went under. Now with the support of its former competition, the magazine is alive again, in a limited format.

PC Accelerator, or PCXL as it was nicknamed, was a magazine of insanity, wrapped around PC Gaming. It offered reviews, previews and articles, but they were all injected with humor, crassness and sometimes some sexuality. One time, the magazine put a fake review in the magazine for a game that did not exist. They even made up interviews and advertisements for the fake game.
