Mass Effect was probably my favorite RPG of last holiday season, and now that the sequel is set to arrive in January 2010, word has reached us via press release that there will be a limited edition release of the game with loads of extras. Like what? Well…

Available on January 26 in North America alongside the standard edition, the Collectors’ Edition of Mass Effect 2 comes in a premium, tin case and includes the full version of the game, a 48-page hardcover “Art of Mass Effect 2” book, Issue 1 of the Mass Effect Redemption comic book, and a bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes and making-of videos. In addition, the Mass Effect 2 Collectors’ Edition will include unique in-game weapons and armor that can only be obtained by purchasing this version.

About the only thing missing is hero Captain Shepherd’s secrets for the best way to lose belly fat. But I guess you can’t have everything… where would you keep it?

The classic puzzlers Mercury and Mercury Meltdown are available on PSN for PSP and PSP Go in a special bundle price of $9.99 until December 5, according to a Sony press release, but that’s only mildly good news.

What would be better news is if Sony had a way to allow PSP Go owners to get games they already own on a standard PSP UMD for free. But since they don’t seem to care about stuff like that, well… let’s just say if Sony wises up and switches their mind on that issue, it would set off a lot of emergency alert systems.

Resident Evil 5 is already a memorable game, but come 2010 it’s going to be even more memorable, because there will be a whole new set of downloadable content being released for the game, on the Xbox Live network for 360 owners and on PSN for PS3 owners.

While this isn’t exactly a “just around the corner” announcement, folks who enjoyed the chills so far and wanted a bit more will be getting exactly that. Maybe there will even be some new in-game items, like a Canon camera! Who knows?

OK, well… Capcom knows. But I mean, other than them…
