Alone In The Dark Euro Limited Edition

Someone at Eden Games has a thing for Keanu Reeves, don't you think? It's as if they buffed him up, renamed him Edward Carnby and plastered his face all over the European Limited Edition for Alone In The Dark for the Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. He's on the cover of the Official Soundtrack CD, the Making Of DVD, and splashed throughout the pages of the bound art book. Hell, they've even included a figurine of Neo Carby for you to play bullet-time with in the bathtub. It's all wrapped up in a rather nifty looking box that will completely fail to fit on the shelf with the rest of your game collection, securing it a cherry spot above your mantle. All I can say is whoa...I hope we get something similar stateside. Not to sure about the game but I love having boxes of Limited Edition stuff lying around.

Warhammer Online CE Eases Delay Pains

Sure it's been delayed again, but look at all of the nifty stuff you get! EA Mythic has revealed the contents of the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Collector's Edition, perhaps in an attempt to get you to look beyond the release date, which they've done twice now. If that is their tactic, it seems to be working for me. All I can think of now is getting my paws on the exclusive Games Workshop miniature, hardbound graphic novel, and 224-page hardcover art book packed inside what is sure to be a massive, weighty package. Now how much would you pay? Wait, there's more! The collector's edition also comes with bonus in-game items, quests, rewards, titles, and even special heads for your characters, setting them apart from the plebeians who couldn't scrounge up the extra dough. $79.99 secures you one of these babies, but you'd best preorder now, as quantities are limited to 60,000 in North America.

Gears Of War 2 Coming In Two Flavors

In case there ever was any doubt, Microsoft's press site has images up for the temporary box art for Epic's just announced Gears of War 2, in both regular edition red and shiny limited edition black. No details on what will come with the limited edition yet, but I am guessing there will be some sort of bonus disc and a $10 or more higher price tag associated with it. Keep in mind this box art is only temporary so the folks at stores like GameStop can place them in the coming soon area and get your $5 down payment.

Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition Details

Capcom has finally unveiled the contents of the Premium Super Awesome Limited Collector's Edition of Devil May Cry 4 for the PS3 and Xbox 360, and while it not be a collector's case with replicas of Dante's pistols in it, it's still not a bad little deal. Both versions will be packaged in 'Steelbook' cases, along with a bonus DVD that contains a making of featurette, music from the soundtrack, a digital art book, wallpapers, icons, and screen savers. Also included with the Collector's Edition is the first disc of ADV's Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, containing four episodes of the brand new anime. It looks to be packaged in one of those little cardboard disc sleeves that anime fans despise, so expect printable fan-made DVD case inserts to be available by the time the game is released. I'm probably going to pass on this one myself, as $79.99 makes that anime DVD more of an additional purchase than a bonus.

Call Of Duty IV Collectors Details

With less than two months to go until Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare briefly touches store shelves only to be swept up in a hype-driver whirlwind of consumer lust, Activision has announced details on the PC and Xbox 360 Collector's Edition of the game. Both will come with a lovely hardbound art book containing a slew of concept art and never-before-seen imagery from the development of the title. While the Xbox 360 version will also come with a bonus DVD with over four hours of interviews, features, and a documentary on the history of the British S.A.S, the PC version instead comes with a digital copy of the Brady Games strategy guide for COD4, because console players know the PC gamers need as much help as they can get. I didn't say it, the console gamers did. I am sure you can all work this out civilly. More »

Gamestop/EB Games No Longer Taking Bioshock LE Pre-Orders

If you dawdled on pre-ordering that BioShock LE for the 360 from GameStop, it's too late now. The game retailer has recently halted taking pre-orders for the game everyone wants to get their hands on. There is speculation on why this has happened ranging from not having enough copies to meet demand to GameStop finding broken Big Daddy figures in some of the boxes. Regardless of the reason, if you waited, you're S.O.L and you'll have to make do with the plain old version of the game, wait until the limited edition makes a second run or buy it an an inflated price on eBay. I guess that's why it's called the "limited" edition. More »

Master Chief Helmet Available on eBay

Halo fanatics out there who can't wait for the Halo limited edition and the Master Chief helmet to come out in September can start gluing their eyeballs to the computer now. One lucky seller got their hands on the helmet—supposedly from a Microsoft employee—and assures potential buyers that it is 100% authentic, made by Bungie and complete with serial number. Obviously, this item doesn't come with the game, because if it did, I'm pretty sure the bids would far surpass the $166 mark it's accrued since its listing. The auction ends this Sunday, just in time to say hello to July.

BioShock LE Cover Art Revealed

It's been a month since the community contest was announced over at The Cult of Rapture that allowed fans to submit their own designs for the Limited Edition box for BioShock, and the winners have been announced. While second and third place get prizes, first place is what matters here, as the winning art will soon be decorating GameStop shelves everywhere. Without further ado...

Adam Meyer's design was picked from a crop of 150 to be the one, and looking through the other entrants I think they chose wisely. You can never go wrong with rust and rivets. Hit the link for a look at what could have been. More »

Limited Simpsons Xbox 360 Coming

I gotta tell ya, I'm cautiously optimistic about EA's new game based on The Simpsons. Conceptually, they knocked it out of the park. The episodic layout, exploiting Treehouse of Horror-like surreal situations for a series of video game parodies, finally giving a non-Simpsons Wrestling game the cel-shaded effect—all of these things help confirm that someone at EA LA knows how to take advantage of the license.

Silver PS2 Announced

Sony today announced the release of a new, limited edition silver Playstation 2. The console, soon to be outdated by the Playstation 3 on Nov. 17, will sell for $130 and include a silver PS2 controller. Funny enough, the controller, with its heft and shakeyness, will soon be cutting edge among Playstation console controllers. More »

TGS06: The Custom PSPs Of The Tokyo Game Show

In the Sony booth, a half-dozen customized, so-not-for-sale PSP's are on display. The whole thing just screams "lifestyle". I'll spare you the gory details of the Pepto pink PSP display cabinet—seriously, it features pearls and high heels—and the uber-boring ceramic white, as camo PSP's are where the action is. More »

Not Just Heroes, Limited Edition Heroes

Ubisoft will be releasing an extra-special bonus happy fun time Limited Edition of Heroes of Might and Magic V along with the plain old regular boring hateful version. The spectacular wonderful amazing edition will include the two previous versions of the game, extra maps, a soundtrack, and the same invasive StarForce malware as the regular edition. But hey, you can enjoy the soundtrack while trying to scrub StarForce from your rig. More »
