Oooh... Suits You Sir.

Everyone loves special edition versions of games right? Particularly when they don’t charge you at an £843 premium just for the privellidge of a poorly cut “Making Of” DVD and a tin case that doesn’t fit on your shelf. Right?

Well my most hotly anticipated Wii game (one hotly anticipated game out of about three) is getting an uber-awesome special edition when you preorder the game with selected retailers. I read the press release twice and unless I blacked out over the same sentence on numerous occasions I don’t believe they told us which special retailers. This particular blogger hopes for Amazon.

Anyway you get a Sin City meets Planet Terror graphic novel for your preordering troubles which acts as a prelude to the games plot. Because everyone cares about House Of The Dead’s plot right?

It looks pretty neat but it presents a problem. If you can only get this with pre-orders that means February is going to be pretty expensive. Street Fighter IV, Killzone 2 and House Of The Dead Overkill. And let us not forget Bionic Commando comes in January and Resident Evil 5 (cums) in March. I was thinking the ridiculous months of overspending on video games were over but apparently not.

Should we watch that House Of The Dead trailer again? Of course we should:

“They’ve come for brains. You’ll give them… Bullets.”

Never gets old, that.
