Vhal is Dead island a new franchise I though it is a sequel to Dead rising. Oh and Congrats on passing 2000 posts.

Here is my list:

1. Collector's Edition of the Year. - Emily the strange Collector's Edition, The fact that we were able to have our input into this edition is quite something. It's a first as far I know. The contents, certificate and overall presentation were all great. being restricted to 200 units was also a fantastic. Another Edition that was numbered is Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus : Collectors Edition, again only 200 and individually numbered.


2. Most likely to appreciate in value - Dead Island Treasure Edition, we have all seen how much this goes for already, being restricted to 266 units is certainly helps. Uncharted 3 Explorer edition. This one actually looks to be quite limited and the franchise continues to earn award after award.


3. Best CE for a New Franchise - Emily the Strange Collector's Edition, this one was a spilt between Rage German Anarchy Edition and Emily the Strange. In the end the number certificate and presentation box tipped it for Emily the strange.

4. Best Box Art - Yakuza 4 Shiro Edition, white seems to be new black and the shrio edition epitomised this better than any other collector's edition. The gloss white back ground really adds great contract to the silver dragon logo. Another great box art is the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus : Collectors Edition. Overall great presentation n a large white canvas.

5. Best Bonus Item - As a Zelda fan, having an Ocarina from the Zelda 3DS CE was heaven. Worthy mention should also go to model Helicopter from Italian Ace combat Helicopter edition.

6. Best Unboxing Experience - that's easy Sonic Generations Collector's edition. I don't think there is anyone that didn't enjoy opening that edition up. Two more edition worthy of mention are Infamous 2 Hero edition and Resistance 3 Survivor edition simpy because of the sheer amount of contents.


7. Most Unique Package Design for me there is only one winner, that is sniper ghost warrior Suvivor edition, using a actual Ammo storage holder for the case is, well inspired for lack of a better word.


8. Most Unique Bonus Item - This is easy, with the common Figurine, Artbook and steelbooks. There are few edition with truly unique items. For me the best has to be the quiver case from Lord of the rings war of North CE. I mean that came out of no where. Another unique item is the Men's boxers from Catherine "Love is Over" Deluxe Edition. LOL.

9. Best CE guide - This is quite difficult, I would because there are so little to differentiate the guides. In the end I think Uncharted 3 for the include soundtrack to make it stand out from the regular guide.

10. Best CE system - Had the Star Wars Kinect bundle been released on time I would chosen that. However few could argue with the Nikomi Light gold PS3, even the controller was different and that combine with the very unique colour makes this one of better consoles. Another consoles worthy of mention are Halo Reach and the Gears of Wars CE console. Both had unique sounds for the operations and custom artwork and colour. As a final Fantasy Fan I would usually pick the recent Xiii-2 PS3 but since it is similar to the first I think it's best to choice the more unique consoles.
