Power Unlimited is a Dutch multi-format computer and video games magazine. It is the biggest gaming magazine in the Benelux. The first issue was released in June 1993.
Power Unlimited started in June 1993 in Bjorn Bruinsma's basement as a new label of VNU Business Publications. With VNU's other labels being primarily free business magazines, a gaming magazine was considered a big risk that lacked a real audience. That's why they decided to start it up in Bjorn Bruinsma's basement. VNU started out with only freelance editors. One year later, the concept had proven itself worthy, and an Editor in Chief and Final Editor were employed. Since that first year, Power Unlimited has become the biggest gaming magazine of the Benelux countries.
Power Unlimited has expanded to other activities, organizing an annual gaming event since 2003, and hosting the television show Gamekings.
From November 2007, Power Unlimited was published by HUB Uitgevers (HUB Publishers), after being taken over from VNU Media.
In August 2013 HUB Uitgevers filed bankruptcy. As of September Power Unlimited was taken over by the newly formed Reshift Digital.
In the 24-year history of the magazine, more than 4,000 games have been reviewed. Reviewed games are given an overall score out of 100. Although several games have received scores high in the 90s, only seventeen have been given a perfect 100: these are Escape From CyberCity, Mortal Kombat 2, Mortal Kombat 3, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Sentinel Returns, Art of Fighting 2, Tekken, NBA Jam, Gran Turismo 2, Super Mario Galaxy, Grand Theft Auto IV, LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, Fallout 3 ,Grand Theft Auto V and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
