Activision announces Prototype pre-order rewards

What would a game be now-a-days if pre-orderers didn’t get some sort of bonus? It would probably be fine, but Activision evidentally didn’t want to take the chance.

It was recently announced that those who pre-order Prototype from GameStop will recieve Alex Mercer (the game’s main character) in action figure form and a map/poster.

Those who pre-order it from GameGrazy will recieve a hardcover book that includes different illustrations based on ingame characters, enemies, and locations.

And finally, those who pre-order Prototype from Amazon will receieve an exclusive comic based on the game put together by Wild Storm.

So what are you waiting for? You have three option, choose wisely.

Resident Evil 5 action figures are awesome

April 24th, 2009 No Comments   Posted in PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

As you can see from the above picture, these things are not your run of the mill action figures. In fact, they come to us from Hong Kong based toy maker Hot Toys who, Kotaku is reporting, specializes in highly detailed action figures.

Only two Resident Evil 5 characters made the cut the first time around, Chris and Sheva, who both come with clothes, accesories and enough weaponry to deal with the zombie onslaught.

There’s no word if these will be released Stateside but I’m sure if you do enough searching you can get these suckers imported.
