Can't see that limited edition anywhere.

I just spent 20 mins looking for the Ultimate/Collectors edition on UK websites and can't find shit. Really annoyed :( Dislike the normal cover art so much I was gonna get Collectors but can't find it. Gutted.

The European Collector's Edition has a cool cover

Is that what's coming in the Ultimate Edition (Pandora's Box) or is this a seperate Collector's Edition?

BTW GAME has the exclusive rights to the Ultimate Edition, though it seems as though it's now be taken off the site. All pre-sold? Glad I got in there early.

Dammit! My local game store is also out of Collectors Edition pre-orders.

A sparkle of hope though: when I pre-ordered Uncharted 2, I was also unable to pre-order the CE. When I went to the store they offered me a CE. They had recieved more CE's then expected. Same goes for Bioshock 2. Hope the same will happen to GoW III.


The box is cool and everything, but I want the CE for the challenges.

Anyone we can beg and get someone from Sony to give us a Hi-rez UK coverart PDF like they did for Heavy Rain for the US release?? How did that come to, anyhow? Did a sony guy read GAF or something??

The Hades level? Uggggh. That was terrible. Almost threw my controller out the window. How the hell did that abomination pass QA? I hope there's nothing like that later on in GoW2.
No pretty much everything about god if war 2 kicks ass. Have fun!

Yeah Hades sucks. Oh god does it suck.

I can't think of a single part in GoW2 that would make me not want to replay it. Fun from beginning to end!

Oh yes there is. 3 words. Protec the translator.

Eh, that wasn't so bad. Of course I only played on normal. I can see how the translator bit would be irritating on a higher difficulty level.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

So you're telling me it's just as hard as the original game on titan?

Well, there goes my GoW2 platinum. That part costed me TWO Dual Shock 2s and I never made it.

You don't need to beat GoW2 on Titan to get the Platinum trophy.

It was the single hardest part of the entire game on Titan mode.

Never heard of this version before? Is this not coming to the UK?

Whats does it include and how do i get it?

Game Australia's deal. You'd think it would be on Game UK's site but couldn't find anything. Maybe its only parts of PAL?

That GOW 3 collectors will probably make it's way to the UK. It's just whichever store gets the exclusivity rights (like HMV did with Heavy Rain).

fucking Gametrailers. They always do the same thing. There is NO POINT in watching that GOW3 special. You've waited 3 years for this, the game is almost here, why spoil it right at the finish line? The game will have that much more impact by seeing barely anything at all.

It's actually a little disappointing that Sony whussed out at the end of there media blackout. They could totally market this game without having to show some big huge reveal on GTTV.
Whatever, it's up to you if you wanna watch it, I definitely won't.


One more thing, it seems like it's getting time for an official thread. This is one of the biggest games of the generation so far, and it's thread is constantly on the second or third page. Let's do this game right! :D

Is there any place i can order the collectors edition from and have it shipped to the UK?

(excluding ebay coz the prices are a rip off from what i just saw)

German M! gave 89%. Haven't read the review yet. I'll post an update later.

Nice! How did they rate the first two games? And, if I may ask, is this a harsh magazine in general (for example, what have they rated other high-profile games lately)?

I asked earlier as well about who was doing the Official Thread and got no reply. Has anyone laid claim to it yet? If not, someone needs to get on it asap... Bruce/Solidsnakex? Anyone else?

The only Aus. stores offering it are EB Games and Game. Both don't ship outside of the country, unfortunately. :(

To put things in comparison.

Killzone 2 88%
Little Big Planet 88%
Uncharted 2 90%
Modern Warfare 2 87%
Assassins Creed 2 92%

Edit: Beaten

Thanks guys, they seem a little bit harsher than the US review outlets. :D

They are which is a good thing in my opinion. It's still my favorite German gaming magazine and it's been on the market for 15 years now I think.

Yeah, someone claimed it. Forgot who though. NeoGAF has a SHIT TON of memebers.

Has this even aired yet? If not, aren't you jumping the gun a bit.

Well, based on their format and past episodes he's probably right.

Since GT only does videos they are forced to show gameplay because watching 2 dudes talk is really not that interesting. Same goes for the reviews.

WHen GTTV/Spike is not provided with sufficient enough content they just repeat the same footage over and over again while Mr. Keighley is interviewing.
