Some info from a veteran:

Gary Whitta is a long time games reviewer. He used to be on The One Magazine (for Amiga, Atari ST and PC). Never thought him a bad reviewer.

I do agree that it sounds like they just want to discourage young gamers to go looking into the old games section. That's really sad, because it means PC Gamer is not an independent medium. Then again, it's American and nothing in the States is independent - they're all profit driven.

A good games magazine would be made for and by gamers themselves. Alas, I fear those times are over.

In short: Gary Whitta has gone over to the dark side, because nobody calls UFO: Enemy Unknown bad because its graphics are not up to date.

I still have hopes for the gaming industry though. One name: SID MEIER.

Hey, my handle's not Microprose Veteran without reason...

PS: I bought the warbox MOHAA plus add ons. At first it was fun but ultimately it is a very limited game. I never got to playing the add on missions. And nobody ever bleeds when they get hit!
