Robert Workman gives us the best of the limited editions of our favorite video games. Ones that make us collectors reach blindly into our wallets, whether it is at our local video game store or bidding on ebay.

More and more companies are opting to release a special or limited edition of their games. Featuring special download or physical goodies like action figures, art books and other doodads, these editions have fans reserving like crazy to pick them up on day one. Case in point: both the Legendary and Prestige editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops are sold out—and they aren’t even out yet! There are plenty of new ones out now (Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Medal of Honor and Dead Rising 2 among them), but we thought we’d salute our favorite ones to date. You can still find most of them are retail these days, although there are a couple that require some deeper digging into your wallet—and through eBay auctions.
