Think you know gaming? Test your knowledge with PC Gamer

So, you’re some kind of PC gaming expert, are you? Then you’ve come to the right place to prove yourself.

Each week here at PC Gamer, we’re cooking up new quizzes to test you, and I’ll warn you: these are some spicy dishes. With the combined experience of our team, we’re bringing decades of pointless trivia to bear, and the result is quizzes that you should feel proud to hit the top scores in… or not too ashamed if you fail.

You’ll see these quizzes pop up on the site each week, but I’ll also be collecting them here, so you can easily dip into the backlog whenever you fancy sharpening your mental blade.
