Dead Rising 2: Special Edition

As time goes on I'm actually looking forward to this game less and less; they changed the main character, a new development company who has only worked on sports games doing the coding, Capcom feeling the first game was "too Japanese", and, most of all, what appears to be a major shift to mutiplayer and co-op game play. In short, they seem to be doing everything they can to change everything that made the first game good (don't even get me started on the save system).

Having said all that I'm still looking forward to giving this game a go, and the special edition that is being released has got me a little excited, more details here, but I'll throw in a screenshot for good measure too:



Personally, I love the Zombrex hypo that is actually a pen. At 79.99 it seems a little steep, but consider that fact that it'll take at least 60, and probably 70, bucks to purchase the regular edition, I don't mind paying a few extra bucks to get some cool toys.

If nothing else it'll at least serve as a tribute to the memory of the first game, one of the finest works of video game art ever conceived of by Human civilization.
