• PowerSlave—Battle hordes of extraterrestrial insects and their various minions based in ancient Egyptian folklore in this first-person shooter.

• Return to Monkey Island—Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge.
• LOOM—Have you asked us about LOOM yet? We’ll have you know, it’s the latest masterpiece of fantasy storytelling from Lucasfilms™ Brian Moriarty™? Why it's an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic, stunning high-resolution, 3D landscapes, sophisticated score and musical effects. Not to mention the detailed animation and special effects, elegant point 'n' click control of characters, objects, and magic spells. Beat the rush! Go out and buy Loom™ today!

Alongside a ton of game-themed goodies, each PC Collector’s Edition comes with the game on CD. But if you don’t have a CD drive, don’t fret. Each also includes the game on a USB stick for easy loading onto our modern, drive-less PCs.

Pre-orders for LOOM and PowerSlave close this weekend, so take this opportunity to pick ‘em up alongside a few more awesome PC releases. We’ve got more awesome Collector’s Editions planned for the next few weeks, Big Box fans, so stay tuned!
