PC fanboys get a site: Big Download (beta)
Chances are, you're pretty familiar with Joystiq's various gaming sites: PS3 and PSP Fanboy, included. While we've covered Wii, DS, Xbox 360 and World of Warcraft (yeah, that's a platform ...), there's one console that's been sorely missing: the PC.
Well, we're finally fixing that glaring flaw. PC fanboys can join us at our new sister site, Big Download. In partnership with GameDaily, we're planning on giving you the latest and greatest PC gaming news, plus free access to demos, patches, mods, trailers and more!
PC gaming has been an important part of my gaming diet for years, and I'm glad that we're finally able to introduce a new site to you. Bear in mind that we're in beta, so please send us any feedback you may have. Keep an eye out for my contributions to the site as well!
We hope to see you at Big Download, where all the news is big and all the downloads are above average!

What a great idea. The PC has been in dire need of a gaming website for a long time.

Who cares? PC gaming is just about dead anyway. Mostly due to pirating. Someone should make a FPS where you shoot people who 'borrow' (steal) games. The would run around like the geeks they are spouting their normal crap like "Games cost too much!" or "I wouldn't buy it anyway!" and then you take out a .45 and blow their geek little heads off in a spray of blood! BWAHAHAHA!!!

what an idiot comment...pc gaming is far from dead...if you play games on the pc you'd know! just searching for servers in a game brings up THOUSANDS! more than i can say for 360 or ps3 and yes i do own both! they're are more people playing pc games than ps3 and 360 combined so i don't get all these statements about how it's dead! the stereotype about being a geek is a off too! i probably party an go out more than anyone i know who doesn't play games! you just need to learn before opening your mouth!

Man, don't even start making comments about PC gamers. They're more delusional than the Heaven's Gate cult. They don't want to think of themselves as a dying breed.

PC gaming might lose people due to their less-nerdy friends having consoles, but PC still wins in customizability. SO much free content made by people for games like TF2, not to mention the controls are a bit easier. PC gaming isn't dying, it just isn't growing as fast.

'Bout time Jostiq started one. Thanks for the heads-up too.
Oh and shut up, popfrogs.

... The comment system is broken!
It always takes a while to find the demos I want, this may come in handy!

A website about videogames on PC, innovative! Where do these ideas come from?

So it's going to be what now, WoW Insider, articles complaining about piracy and the stagnation of RTS, and the occasional Crysis 2 screenshot? PC GAMING LIIIVES!!!1111
Ah well.

any chance for mac fanboy?

how can pc gamers be a dying breed if there's so much pirating going on?? there isn't even a quarter as many people on ps3 so realistically the ps3 is way closer to death! pc gaming could never die ..especially as long as people are pirating games! don't get me wrong though i love the ps3 but there's just not really many good games out or coming out to keep me on it...an don't even mention haze..please that game is not a system seller or anything!
