Sackboy stands at a pretty nice 6 inches, though he really does not stand up on his own, you will have to prop him up on a display stand or simply have him sit down. The bookends are pretty amazing. They will support almost any kind of game storage (Blu-Ray, Steelbook, PS2 Amaray cases), and of course, works well as regular book ends. You might want to have them displayed close to each other to get the full effect of the design.

Now these are just three of the many limited editions of games that have been released for the Sony Playstation 3, there are a whole lot more and many of these are made very special because of the extra content they contain. Metal Gear Solid 4 comes with a special making-of Blu-Ray disc that contains hours of special footage, interviews and a rare behind the scenes look at Kojima Productions.

Batman Arkham Asylum comes with a massive wooden replica of the Batarang (no, we have not tried to throw it). The set comes with a special stand for the projectile and everything is housed in an impressive Batman-logo shaped case. Fallout 3 comes with a specially designed tin lunch box, a bobble head and a digital clock made to look like the Pip Boy gadget. Indeed, there have been so many released and there are so many more coming, the only thing you should take note of is: which one would you want?

Local Coop: Twice the Fun with Your PS3

We all know how fun it is to play a video game, and thanks to the wonderful power of wireless communications and faster internet connections, we can play with many of our friends and even complete strangers online. But what about the times when friends come over? It is hardly fun to be one sitting down doing nothing aside from watching your friend play. This is where local multi-player games come in, while not that common in many games, there are some pretty outstanding titles that make use of the feature.

While it is not much used, the Playstation 3 supports multiple players (up to 7). And so far, only one game can use the feature: the PSN-only X-Men: Arcade by Capcom. This old school side scrolling beat them up will feature the iconic Marvel Mutants in their early 80’s iterations as they take on the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. It is a simple game and is good for about two hours of button mashing action and laughable old-school antics. While it is easy enough to finish with a single player alone, it certainly makes for a decent activity small get-togethers.

Resident Evil 5 is a game that tells you right off the bat that you are not alone.

Protagonists Chris and Sheva accompany each other as they take on the Tricell’s Majini and more of Umbrella’s BOWs. On cooperative mode, the game uses a split screen setup that allows you and a friend to strategically take down hordes of zombies (in essence, as they are technically not zombies). You can pass ammunition, heal your partner or even help out when your ally gets tackled by an enemy. Our favorite part is how the two players can link their melee attacks for some devastating damage against certain boss 37
