10 Most Sought-After Collector's Editions In Gaming
9. Batman: Arkham Origins Collector's Edition
Where some publishers try hard to come up with unexpected items to pop into their limited edition packages, sometimes gamers aren't all that concerned about innovation, they just want more. More what? Just more. When it comes to unboxing a good collector's edition it's supposed to feel like Christmas morning. Batman Arkham Origins Collector's Edition is a perfect example of this way of thinking. Warner Bros. didn't try to push any boundaries here, instead going with the tried and tested shock-and-awe method of hurling a torrent of game-related paraphernalia at the consumer until it becomes too much to resist. A bulging black box of Batman bounty, this Collector's Edition checks all the boxes to make for a true delight for fans of our beloved Dark Night. There is so much in here that it's easy to overlook the more disposable bits and pieces - things like intel dossiers, Batwing schematics and so on - and still sit with a sizeable haul. Forgettable trinkets aside, the Batman Arkham Origins Collector's Edition does have a star feature on which to anchor its self worth: a stunningly-detailed statuette of the Joker at his desk, with battery-powered LED backlit TV screens behind him showing images of Batman's key enemies through the game. Even without the sizeable hardcover art book, DC Supervillains documentary feature and the rest, the Collector's Edition would still be hot property because of this lovingly-crafted diorama alone. What's in the box: Batman Arkham Origins Collector's Edition game; 9" Joker statue featuring LED effects; 80-page hardcover art book; two pieces of replica evidence from the Gotham City Police Dept. crime lab; Batman Wanted poster; Batwing prototype schematics; Anarchy logo stencil; Glow-in-the-dark Gotham map; Wayne family photo; Intel dossiers on the eight assassins; Black Mask's contract; Feature-length DC Supervillains documentary; Deathstroke Challenge Pack with bonus game challenge maps and skins; First Appearance Batman in-game character skin.
Game-obsessed since the moment I could twiddle both thumbs independently. Equally enthralled by all the genres of music that your parents warned you about.
