And So Our Story Begins...






Well, Lionhead studios certainly knows how to make a game...and as the photos I've taken above prove they also are a fair hand at crafting a collector's edition to boot.

Coming in a tome-sized hardcover 'book' you will find the game when you open the cover of the book as well as a secret compartment at the bottom that slides out and reveals a set of playing cards create by Lionhead studios that depict all the manner of people and creatures you shall encounter while journeying in Albion. There is also a metal Guild Seal coin to "assist players in making critical decisions that will impact the fate of the world forever." which has a blue side for Good decisions and a red side for Evil.

The collector's edition also contains some downloadable content to help your Hero place his or her foot in the right direction on the trail of overthrowing your evil brother and freeing the good people of Albion.

Best of all, the thing just looks pretty nifty on my shelf.

Good luck with that Harvey Dent.

That has to be one of the best collectors edition I have even seen.

Agreed, KillScreen256!

Drake...you are only...half right. ;)

Chris, I was blown away to be sure. Of course it will pale in comparison with the Tron Legacy Collector's Edition I am sure. :)

Are you getting the Tron Legacy? I have been tossing around getting it for a while now... but an extra $70 for a statue that I can not get a good look at early is hard for me to justify right now. If I could at least see some pics showing how big it is and how detailed, than I could make a better choice.

Yeah, I...have a sickness when it comes to certain things. Universal Monsters, Tron, and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen books, it doesn't matter how much they are asking I'll have to buy it. :)
