I noticed that many publishers are starting to “get” what it means to put together a worthy collector edition for their fans. We use to just get a comic book. Or an art book. Or if we are lucky, maybe we'll get a behind the scenes making of documentary. Or if you are unlucky, you get one lousy free in game item that is merely a reskin of something already in the game. Along comes Splinter Cell: Conviction, and they give you all that and whole wad of stuff more. So much good stuff.[nextpage]

Looks like this collector edition will have all this packaged together:

• Steelbook DVD Case - with free bullet holes art!
• Custom USB drive loaded with concept art, wallpapers, and making of videos
• Two exclusive in-game items
• An art book looking at the best of Splinter Cell past to

Everyone has their favorite videogame mascots from Mario and Link, to Sonic and Crash Bandicoot, but what about the other mascots that just faded into obscurity like the thousands of boy bands that weren’t NSync or BackStreet Boys? Not that these mascots had a fighting chance, as we found out. We’ve discovered that all of these characters below are so ridiculous in premise that you wondered how they even got past the drawing board.

We should note that only mascots that were used in some capacity to represent a gaming company were included. That means guys like Boogerman, James Pond, and even Yo! Noid were eliminated. Had we included them, this list would have been the top 1001.
