In any case, we bust out the latest on D3, StarCraft 2, and investigate the new Battle.net all in one massive feature!

Rolling on from there, since we spent so much of PCPP#155 on the road, we thought it was appropriate to take a close look at the current crop of mobiles - and not just the one that begins with a little i.

Lindsay examines each of the major operating systems and gives you all the lowdown. Which one is most compatible with the lifestyle of a PC gamer? Results inside!

And speaking of games, we also take another look at the state of mobile gaming. Is it worth your while yet? Or are the mobile versions of your favourite PC titles demonic perversions that deserve only the fires of hell?

Elsewhere in the mag, we welcome back ex-editor David Wildgoose with his definitive review of Mass Effect for PC, we showcase the future of tech from Computex, benchmark the GeForce 280GTX and go hands-on with Fallout 3.

And beyond the ken of commercialism and big business, we offer you our six-page uber-feature on the independent game development scene. So many quality games. So little cash required up front. A true artist's community.
