Limited Amazon-exclusive Madden 25 special edition includes free Sunday Ticket subscription

Since Madden NFL 25 skipped 12 years is named to commemorate the series’ 25th anniversary, it shouldn’t be surprising that EA Sports recently unveiled a special Anniversary Edition. What is a little surprising are the contents of the special edition, which includes a free one-year subscription for DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket service, allowing fans to watch every out-of-market NFL game throughout the season.

EA Sports tells us that the subscription is limited to the NFL Sunday Ticket computer, tablet and mobile service. Additionally, those who are able to receive DirecTV service in their area can get $ 10 off per month for the service, which starts at $ 225, as well as a free subscription to the higher-tier NFL Sunday Ticket MAX.

The Anniversary Edition of Madden 25 is exclusive to Amazon, and limited to 50,000 copies on each of the game’s platforms, Xbox 360 and PS3 (100,000 copies total). It will also include complimentary Madden Ultimate Team card packs every week of the NFL’s 17-week regular season. Madden 25‘s Anniversary Edition is available to pre-order now on Amazon for $ 99.99.

Limited edition Mass Effect 3 Paladin pistol replica available for pre-order

Limited edition Mass Effect 3 Paladin pistol replica available for preorder
BioWare has just revealed this snazzy real-life replica version of Mass Effect 3‘s M-77 Paladin pistol, available for pre-order today. The weapon weighs 7 pounds, is hand-finished and hand-painted, and is one of a set of only 200 made by collectible firm Triforce.

Buying one for yourself will run you a total of $ 400: You’ll need to put down $ 200 now to reserve your own fake space gun, and then another $ 200 when it’s ready to go, which is expected to be later this year. That’s not cheap, but then again nobody said fighting off the Reaper Invasion would be.

Limited 3DS Online Screenshot Sharing Debuts In Japan

Limited screenshot sharing capabilities are now available in Japan for the 3DS. With it, you can share screenshots from certain games to Twitter and Tumblr.

Right now the only compatible games are Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Tomodachi Collection: New Life. The latter title is not currently planned for North America. Basically, according to Endgadget which has played with the software a bit, the interface lets you pick a screen from the game, and use the 3DS' built-in web browser to post your image online. It's picky about what screens you are able to use, however, preventing you from using screens taken with your camera, for example.

Nintendo has experimented with screenshot sharing in the Wii U's MiiVerse, and it's one of my favorite features. The Vita also allows you to take and share screens easily online, another feature I like a lot. I can't wait for North American 3DS systems to do the same, but I hope it is less restrictive than what is being outlined here.

Persona 4 Arena limited edition strikes victory pose in Europe

Persona 4 Arena will finally launch in Europe on May 10, and today a limited edition has been revealed, available exclusively through the Zen Store. £59.99 will reserve a limited edition bundle, which includes a tote bag, jigsaw puzzle, soundtrack, badge set, digital artwork, key ring and a copy of the game.

It’s been a difficult trek to Europe for Persona 4 Arena, which was originally slated to launch on the continent last August, only to be pushed back out of 2012 entirely. Importing was out of the question for some Europeans, thanks to the decision to region-lock the PS3 version. All Persona 4 Arena pre-orders will net the same soundtrack and “digital fan” artwork included in the limited edition set.

EA has announced an alpha version of the Origin client for Mac is available for testing to a limited number of users in the US and UK. Origin for Mac will eventually evolve, offering a similar experience for Mac users as already seen on PC. In its current form, however, the Mac client does not include the ability to stream gameplay directly to Twitch or purchase software. According to the Origin FAQ, those features will be added soon.

Origin for Mac requires OS X 10.6.8 or newer, with an Intel Core Duo 2 processor or better.

As a reward for those willing to test the client, EA is giving away a copy of Popcap’s Bookworm to all downloaders, so log in and download it while you can. Spaces are limited.

THQ Announces Metro: Last Light Limited Edition, Ranger Mode

THQ has revealed some more information about 4A Games' upcoming post-apocalyptic shooter, Metro: Last Light. If you preorder the game, you'll be able to get a special limited edition of it, which includes in-game bonuses and Metro 2033's punishing Ranger Mode.

The limited edition, which is available at no additional cost to people who preorder the game, includes several in-game extras. The first is a modified Russian rifle, the AKS-74U. The limited edition also includes Ranger Mode, which was available as DLC for Metro 2033. Players who take on this challenge will face reduced ammo availability and increased weapon damage, both from enemies' and Artyom's weapons. To help compensate for the difficulty spike, the limited edition includes the Ranger loadout. This essentially pads your wallet by providing additional military-grade bullets, which are the game's currency. 

Ranger Mode also includes the Ranger Hardcore variant, which manages to increase the damage effects from Ranger Mode even further while also removing the game's HUD. You'll have to keep a close eye on your weapons for ammo counts, and avoid firing your weapons altogether if you can.

Metro: Last Light will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in March. For a look at it in action, check out the most recent trailer.
