==Staff== The last editor was Steve Hogarty, who left in July 2010, and was not replaced. He took over from Ali Wood, who left in December 2009. Previous editor Will Porter replaced Jamie Sefton in March 2008, who in turn was the replacement for Dave Woods after the magazine's redesign at the end of 2005. Steve Spence edited the hardware section until it was taken over by Philip Wand (who also wrote Dear Wandy, a monthly section featuring technical questions from readers which started out as Dear Wazza under Warren Christmas) at the end of 2004. There were discussion forums on the official ''PC Zone'' website, as well as on Philip Wand's own ''Dear Wandy'' site. There, members could request technical assistance and discuss gaming in general. Pavel Barter contributed a regular investigative feature titled ''Special Report'', which focused on various aspects of the games industry at large, as well as notable gaming figures and the specifics of the development process. [[Dan Marshall]] contributed a regular column titled ''How to Make a Game'' which detailed the development of his first game, [[Gibbage]]. Gibbage then received the “Indiezone Game of the Month” award with 71% when it was reviewed. Marshall left, but wrote freelance reviews for the magazine. Other regular freelance writers included Jon 'Log' Blyth, [[Ed Zitron]], Steve Hill, Martin Korda, [[Rhianna Pratchett]], Richie Shoemaker, Daniel Emery, Paul Presley and [[David McCandless]]. TV presenter and newspaper contributor [[Charlie Brooker]] was also a regular during the 1990s, reviewing games, and contributing humorous pieces such as “Sick Notes” and the “Cybertwats”. Brooker would later include ''PC Zone'' as part of his show [[Black Mirror|''Black Mirror'']], in the season 7 episode "[[Plaything (Black Mirror)|Plaything]]".
