Real magazines
PC Gamer (UK)
PC Gamer is the only magazine in The Nameless Mod which actually exists. The cover which appears in the game (featuring The Nameless Mod) is made up, but the real magazine's logo was used with permission from the editor in chief at the time of development. The magazine's articles are of course all about PC games, including the full version of PC Gamer's original Deus Ex review by Kieron Gillen (which can also be read on Gillen's blog) and Richard Cobbett's article "Atavism vs. Altruism" (which can also be read on Cobbett's blog). Breakout Strategy Guide was written specifically for The Nameless Mod, but How to mess up... and Puzzles vs. Problems were taken from Jonas Wæver's blog.
From the inclusion of Gillen's Deus Ex review, it's clear that the PC Gamer version featured in TNM is the British one - however, the logo on the front page is unfortunately from the US version of the magazine.
- Deus Ex
- How to mess up a classic franchise with a pretty good game
