Assassin's Creed: Revelations 'Ultimate Edition' bundle revealed by GameStop

Ben Gilbert — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 16:10:00 EST

You've got a hoodie drawn over your eyes, a hidden blade tucked under each sleeve, and you're a parkour master. Every evening you renew your vow to the order, quietly murmuring "Vittoria agli assassini" before retiring to bed. But as we all know, you're not a real Assassin's Creed fan without a miniature statuette of Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine and a plastic statue of elderly Ezio.

As it turns out, GameStop is offering just that in what it's calling the Assassin's Creed: Revelations "Ultimate Edition," which includes the contents of the pre-order-tied "Signature Edition" plus the aforementioned plastic items. That means it costs $40 more on consoles and PC ($100 and $90, respectively) for two plastic figures and ... a whole bunch of content that everyone else is getting for free with a pre-order.

BBFC: Dragon Age Ultimate Edition to include Awakening and all DLC

Alexander Sliwinski — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:40:00 EST

Filed under: Weird But True, Opinions, New In Pop Culture

Despite popping up on GameStop and having been rated by Australia's OFLC, the so-called "Dragon Age Origins - Ultimate Edition" still hasn't been officially announced by EA. Now the British Board of Film Classification has gone ahead and listed the supposed contents of the re-release, which is "made up of a number of separate components," including:

Dragon Age: Origins (original game)
Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening (standalone expansion)
"The Darkspawn Chronicles" (DLC)
"Feastday Combo Pack" (DLC)
"The Golems of Amgarrak" (DLC)
"Leliana's Song" (DLC)
"Return to Ostagar" (DLC)
"The Stone Prisoner" (lDLC)
"Warden's Keep" (DLC)
"Witch Hunt" (DLC)

While the GameStop listing has since been removed, the retailer had posted a $60 price and an October 12 release date for the Ultimate Edition. We'll be sure to note the official details when EA officially announces them.

Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition trailer isn't creepy enough

Justin McElroy — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:45:00 EST

The trailer we've placed below the break for XBLA's Zeno Clash: Ultimate Editiion is a failure. It's not that you won't get a good idea of the first-person-brawler-slash-shooter's gameplay -- you will. It's that the clip doesn't come within a million miles of communicating just how skin-crawlingly creepy the experience of playing Zeno Clash is.

Just for the record, it's kind of like taking a shower in Neil Gaiman's bathwater after its been filtered through David Lynch's birth certificate. Cr-eepy.

God of War III Ultimate Edition to rip apart your wallet

Andrew Yoon — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:45:00 EST

You'd think that with a box as obnoxiously large as this, the God of War III "Ultimate Edition" would be overflowing with goodies. However, don't expect an abundance of physical goods in this 8.3" wide x 10.5" long x 5.9" tall "High-End Sculpted Replica of Pandora's Box." With the exception of the God of War III art book, all the bonuses packaged into this collector's edition are downloads:

God of War Combat Arena containing an exclusive environment and seven challenges
Premium Kratos Skin - Dominus
God of War: Unearthing the Legend Franchise Documentary - a full-length movie documentary depicting the history of the God of War franchise
God of War Trilogy Soundtrack - God of War, II, and III scores from the game (mp3 digital download).
God of War: Blood and Metal EP - a heavy metal homage featuring original music inspired by God of War (mp3 download).

So how much will this big box o' digital goodies cost you? $100!

Of course, a big-budget game isn't complete without a requisite pre-order bonus. God of War III's pre-order bonus is none too surprising: a downloadable demo of the game you just put a deposit on! With the same demo releasing via the God of War Collection and the District 9 Blu-ray, chances are good you'll end up with more than one access code to the GoW demo before it ships next year -- heck you might even see a code pop up in your e-mail this weekend!
