Amazon reveals Premium and Collector’s Editions of The Order: 1886

By Will Fulton Published February 23, 2015

It wouldn’t be a modern, AAA release without an optional bundle of baubles to drive up the price for the most devoted of fans. Amazon has posted pre-order pages for tiered Collector’s and Premium editions of The Order: 1886, Ready at Dawn Studios’ upcoming PlayStation 4-exclusive third-person steampunk action-adventure (via NeoGAF).

At $80, the Collector’s Edition features a 7-inch statue of the game’s protagonist, Galahad, taking cover behind a genre-standard chest-high wall. It also includes a set of coat of arms stickers, a Steelbook game case, The Knight’s Arsenal DLC gear, a digital soundtrack, and some exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage.

If that’s not enough to sate your excitement for the new game, $150 gets you the Premium Edition. That version includes all of the Collector’s Edition content (minus the statue) in addition to a large, collector’s box and a 22-page leather-bound art book that hides a secret compartment for a Blackwater vial with chain. It also upgrades the Collector’s Edition’s “Galahad Under Fire” statue to a towering 13-inch “Endless Duel” statue of Galahad battling one of the game’s terrifying creatures.

Both special editions and the game alone are available for pre-order now on Amazon, and they’ll ship when the game is released on February 20, 2015 exclusively for the PlayStation 4.

Lenovo’s $99 280Hz gaming monitor is built for the ramen-budget crowd

Lenovo is selling a 280Hz monitor for less than GTA 6 Ultimate Edition

Lenovo gaming monitor render

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)

I played Halo: Campaign Evolved, and its cinematics show what a Halo series could’ve been

Halo’s remake looks ready for Hollywood. So where is the show it deserves?

Adult, Male, Man

There is a moment early in Halo: Campaign Evolved where I stopped thinking about the remake as a game for a second. I was watching one of its newly rebuilt cutscenes. Master Chief, Captain Keyes, Cortana, the Pillar of Autumn, and the enormous scale of everything around them suddenly appeared a lot more cinematic than ever before.

I played the original Halo: Combat Evolved in the early 2000s, and in my head, this was exactly how it looked and felt. The first Halo title introduced intergalactic war to me long before Star Wars, and the cinematic tastefully adds enough minor touches that enhance Bungie's original work from decades ago.
