Prince of Persia (Special Edition)
Ubisoft12/4/2008

Ubisoft's 2008 Prince of Persia reboot divided fans, but the Special Edition for PC gave collectors something everyone could agree on. This package includes a scratch card unlocking the classic Prince skin and a Farah skin for Elika, an exclusive 24-page comic book revealing the backstory of the Hunter (one of the game's key bosses), and a bonus DVD packed with the soundtrack, videos, and digital extras. The comic is the standout piece.

Twenty-four pages of original story content that expands the game's lore in a format you can actually hold, read, and display. The classic Prince skin ties this cel-shaded reimagining back to its roots, which is a nice nod for longtime fans of the franchise. The bonus DVD's soundtrack captures the game's sweeping, atmospheric score.

Whether you loved or debated the reboot's direction, the Special Edition gave the Prince of Persia name a physical package worth collecting. That comic alone has become harder to find loose, making the complete set all the more worthwhile.
