REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

DAILY MANIFESTO

AC: Brotherhood Limited Edition Detailed

Posted on Tuesday, August 10 @ 12:16:51 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

The next AC title might cost you a bit more than you thought...

... once you see the collector's edition. I have to admit I never really thought AC: Brotherhood was going to a worthy title. Seemed like a needless cash-in from an Ubisoft, originators of the hell-DRM that requires a constant connection for PC play. After the multiplayer trailer and some of the commentary walkthoughs, I'm singing a different tune. I loved Assassin's Creed II, and if the multiplayer is balanced correctly, I know I'll be spending a ton of time online. If they haven't already developed it, AC: Brotherhood needs a free-roam-style multiplayer mode.

Anyways, details on the Limited Edition available for the title have landed. Anyone want more junk to sit on your shelf and gather dust? Along with the usual artbook, DVD with making-of video, and gigantic box, AC: Brotherhood gets a pretty creepy looking Jack-in-the-Box toy. OK, I've regretted purchases I've made on limited editions before, but this looks pretty cool. Is it $100 cool though?

Gamestop is the only retailer with the (pictured above) harlequin jack-in-the-box (to coincide with their exclusive multiplayer skin), while ordering from elsewhere will net you the doctor. Anyone else with a weakness for collector's editions?

Can someone fix the format of the page. The picture covers the description of the contents.

Which browser are you using? I've checked on Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, and the formatting is fine.

Here's what I assume you aren't able to see:

I'll admit that I have a soft spot for collectors editions. Ever since I starting working, I'd always buy CEs of my favourite series', or of a game I had a good feeling about.

That's a really cool collection. I was also biased at first about Brotherhood, but the trailers made the flip for me also. However, I did recently buy the StarCraft II collector's edition, so I don't think I'm buying this one. One hundred euro game per season is enough.

Why am I still tempted? NO, I say, NO.

I wonder if the jack in the box plays some sort of tune...

I have a soft spot for the right collectors edition. I picked up the AC2 CE and just yesterday preordered the Fallout: New Vegas CE. I think I'll pass on this one though. The jack in the box is mildly amusing, but not something I'd want to actually have on my shelf.
