Mafia II: Collector’s Edition
Again a nice edition, easy to handle doesn’t need much space. The content is the basic soundtrack (2 discs), artbook and exclusive DLC, also there’s a map of the city with retro ads from the 50’s really nice touch.

Halo Reach: Legendary Edition
Dear Lord this thing is huge. It’s one of the biggest packages ever used for a special edition, so what’s inside this monster? A sculpture of the Noble Team by McFarlande toys, the game, DLC content, a couple of letters, a diary filled with spoilers, a patch and a ID and yeah that’s pretty much all. The sculpture uses most of the space in this package so honestly if you’re not interested in the Halo Universe don’t bother.
DeadRising 2: Zombrex Edition
Hurrah Capcom is still making bad editions. Basically you get a thin cheap box with a band-aid (just one), a cheap pen, a prescription block, a little artbook, a promotional pamphlet (that’s ruined because of the package) and yes the DVD with extras... none of them worth it. On the bright side is better than the RE 5 special edition
October
Fallout New Vegas: Collector's Edition
Probably one of the best editions this year. The package is nice and easy to handle and it’s filled with goodies like cards, some poker chips, a DVD with the “making of” and a graphic novel. Really nice work with this edition, oh and the game is full of bugs.
Castlevania Lords of Shadow: Collector's Edition
Well this’s not the classic special edition, instead of getting everything in a separate box, the whole thing is attached to a single box, the artbook, soundtrack and game. It’s really nice and doesn’t take much space but the content is limitated. (and checking the artbook in this way is uncomfortable)
Fable III: Limited edition
The presentation for this edition is really good. A book with the game, a card set and a coin. On the DLC side you got a new region, a special quest, a dog and an outfit. To be fair this edition is rather poor in physical content but for the people that love to play this game, it’s ok.
