Death rides a pale horse, but he also apparently comes with a life-sized mask you can mount on your wall. The Darksiders II Collector's Edition on Xbox 360 centers its entire identity around a full-scale replica of Death's mask, complete with display stand, and it absolutely dominates whatever shelf you put it on. Vigil Games built one of the most visually striking action RPGs of the Xbox 360 generation, and this edition captures that energy in physical form.

Alongside the mask, you get a hardcover artbook that showcases Joe Madureira's incredible character and world designs, a DLC code for the official soundtrack, and a DLC code for the Shadow of Death pack with exclusive armor and weaponry. The artbook alone is a treasure for anyone who appreciates Madureira's comic-influenced style, thick lines and impossible anatomy rendered with genuine craft. But we all know the mask is why you're here.

It's the kind of centerpiece that turns a shelf into a shrine, a conversation piece that communicates exactly what kind of collector you are. Darksiders II didn't get the commercial love it deserved in 2012, which means its collector's edition flew under the radar for a lot of people. That's starting to change as the series earns its cult following.

The mask, the art, the music. This is a complete package that punches well above its era.
