Yes oh yes, the day has come. Most gaming nerds will commemorate this day forever, and gamers alike will be playing until the sun comes up the following day. The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest was released today. Just kidding guys, we all know it’s about Halo: Reach (no, but really, that game was released today also). The last installment of this amazing first-person shooter series, it is also predicted that sales will surpass its predecessors.

Some news trickled out of PAX Prime last week, and we are still playing catch up to cover it all, but one piece of information that really interested me was the details about the upcoming sequel to the Wii shooter, The Conduit.

New Vegas Has Most Useful , Least Interesting Pre-Order Bonus
Pre-order bonuses are becoming more and more popular, not only for the consumers, but for the Developers and publishers of games as well as it helps sell new copies of a game. People, including myself, love free stuff so they will generally pre-order games just for the free stuff and maybe even sell the game afterwards. Fallout New Vegas is not only a game worth pre-ordering but it comes with something you can actually use, in the real world, and no it’s not miniature statue for your mantle, it’s coasters! Four drink coasters in all can be yours if you pre-order New Vegas at BestBuy, $5 is all you need to do so and you will get the Mercenary Pack DLC as well.
