With so many obsessive Fallout fans slavering for its release, Fallout: New Vegas is pretty much guaranteed to be a hit. No surprise then that Bethesda has decided to cash in give fans a treat by releasing a Collector’s Edition of the game called, unsurprisingly, Fallout : New Vegas Collector’s Edition.

Just like Old Vegas, the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout: New Vegas is gambling crazy. The Collector’s Edition has therefore gone with a poker theme.

Die-hard fans (or just those who accidentally pay way over the odds due to an admin error) will get a copy of the game, a customised deck of Fallout: New Vegas cards, some “Lucky 7 ” poker chips and a replica of the platinum “Lucky 38″ chip that is a highly sought-after quest item in the game.

The now-traditional making of DVD makes an appearance, of course, although we are disappointed to report that there is no soundtrack CD on offer. A shame, considering the high quality of the Fallout 3 OST.

There is a graphic novel, however. “All Roads” fills in crucial backstory to the game and is illustrated by top comic artist Geoff Darrow.

    Ha, brilliant. I loved the dark, dark humour running throughout Fallout 3 – as though Bethesda saw those The Quiz Programme sketches from Mitchell & Webb (Though it's probably more likely M&W played the first two Fallout games instead). Can't wait to see what they do with Vegas.

    Am I going to be able to play this if I didn't play Fallout 3? Or do i need to play that first!? (To enjoy it I mean)

      It's not a direct sequel, so there's no real continuity. You can play New Vegas first. However, by all reports, the battle system is pretty similar to Fallout 3 so if you have payed it first, it'll be like slipping into comfy shoes.

      That aside, you really should play Fallout 3, simply because it's one of the best single player games ever made. I can't recommend it enough.

        Ah ok. Well that's good to know. I tried playing Fallout 3 on the PS3 but struggled to get into it. I'd played and enjoyed Oblivion but Fallout just wasn't as easy to get into. I may give it another try based on your glowing recomendation!

          I actually found the exact opposite – I really really struggled to get into Oblivion, whereas after a few hours of Fallout 3 I was hooked. Too much sword swinging in Oblivion, methinks.
