We're about to enter a very slow period of the year, not typically known for seeing many major PC game releases. However, we should be keeping busy with lots of big announcements in the next few months leading up to E3 in June (at least, you know, we hope). In the meantime, let's take a look back at the highlights from this Passover-April Fool's-Easter week:

Exclusive features

PAX East features: We made it to the first ever PAX East show and we report back on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 480 launch, a Civilization V preview and a panel discussion on the future of PC games.
Boot Disk: Our retro games feature checks out the classic LucasArts Western shooter Outlaws.
Freeware Friday: Our look at free PC games looks at the Mobile Bomb Squad.
Contest: There's still time for you to enter to win one of three Intel Core i7 920 processors.
