Rock, Paper, Shotgun

It’s been a bit competition frenzy on RPS of late, but hell, you like free stuff, right?

This time, we’ve got a copy of the collector’s edition of Lineage II to give away, courtesy of MMO kingpins NCsoft. It’s worth £55, and it’s stuffed with tchotkes. There’s a soundtrack CD in there, a lavish artbook, a big old map, a couple of posters and a statuette of a hot elf-angel-lady-thing. Most importantly, it includes an exclusive in-game item. I quote NCsoft verbatim here: “the Pig Lollipop, which allows players to transform themselves into a pig.” Yes. The Pig Lollipop!

Entry details beneath the cut.

A copy of Lineage II: Saga II: The Chaotic Throne: First Throne: The Kamael (or L2S2TCTFTTK, as I so often call it) just popped through my letterbox, which is jolly nice of them. Unfortunately the high fantasy grind, grind and grind some more Korean MMO isn’t something I would willingly sink my own time into (especially as this past weekend has seen me lost to ecstatic Team Fortress 2 benders all over again), so I have no thoughts to share on it just now.

Instead, I’ll give you this trailer of the latest update, and let you make your own judgements. I will, however, direct your attention to the rather extraordinary Man Versus Stone Horsies action about 75% of the way through.

Gamershell – like Gametrailers, but with more Satan.
