What a totally overwhelming and packed week this one has been! After the announcement of Civilization V, there has been a complete shed full of articles, previews and information released this week, mostly from the Game Developer's Conference in San Fransisco.

We started off the week with a fairly comprehensive preview from IGN and from there the news came in fast. As well as the IGN preview we had:
- Eurogamer preview on Civ5
- Eurogamer interview with Firaxis on Civ5
- Soren's keynote on theme and mechanics at GDC
- Kotaku, Joystiq, Gamespot and 1UP previewed Civ5
- Brian Reynolds keynote at GDC
- Kotaku at GDC on Civ5
- Gamereactor interview with Dennis Shirk at GDC
- A German preview of Civ5 from GDC
- WPC hit Facebook and Twitter
- Game Informer also interviewed Dennis Shirk
- More GDC Civ5 previews from VentureBeat, G4TV and The Escapist
- UGO, GameSpy and Shacknews also saw Civ5 at GDC
- GamePro looked at why designers are moving to Social Gaming
- PCGamer interviewed Jon Shafer and Dennis Shirk
- Giochi per il mio Computer revealed Civs 18 and 19
- GameSpy speculated that Civ5 is no longer for the hardcore
- The Kartel previewed Civ5 at GDC
- A full G4TV interview with Dennis Shirk from GDC
- PolyCast reviewed the Civ5 announcement and first preview information
- Just Push Start gave us the Strategic View button in Civ5
- Command Prompt discussed the announcement of Civ5
- GameSpot live-blogged Sid Meier's keynote at GDC
- 16 new Civ5 screens were released from GDC
- The Escapist reviews Sid's keynote
- PC PowerPlay finished the week with a 6-page comprehensive preview of Civ5
On the forums most of the discussion surrounded information for Civilization V including the all important Info Centre (wiki), Leader discussion and Civ 5's plot. In other areas of the forums the Civ 4 demo game and the SMAC demo game saw the action starting to warm up, whilst the SMAC Game of the Month for March got started, so get into that save game and get your results in before the end of the month! Some healthy discussion transpired in the Writer's Guild and of course, the Off Topic remained largely off topic for the week. :)
