On a weekend walk through Borders, I spotted this magazine on the rack.

I did a double take and leaped to pick it up.

Amazingly, the much revered PC Accelerator - PCXL magazine has returned to walk among the living.

PCXL died way back in 2000. I was a reader of the magazine which basically combined Maxim & PC Gamer. Thanks to Norman Chan, Senior Executive Intern of PC gamer, the new Editor-in-Chief and Greg Vederman, former Editor-in-Chief of PC Gamer and now Editorial Visionary with the return.

Run, don't walk to pick up your copy now.

Update: I looked back at this post and realized I didn't do a very good job explaining why the magazine was good. Let me try to do better.

Here are a few articles in issue #1:

Booth Babes Gone Bye-Bye: Why does E3 hate our freedoms
How-to: Assemble the World's Best $1337 PC
How-to: Start Your Own Game Blog
Movies: Films you can't miss, unless you're a stuck up film major
Reading Rainbow: Great Books You Can Take To The Bathroom

I'm not making this up...
