Unboxing Gallery: We just got a very special delivery - trust us - of the new Shogun 2 Grand Master edition. It's sexy. Very sexy...

There's nothing quite like a good special edition to excite gamers. Sure, us older folk might grumble about the time when getting maps and figurines was standard, but the exception, but hey - you can't argue with stuff like Blizzard's great CEs. And Creative Assembly's pretty good with them too, as the Grand Master edition of Shogun 2 Total War ably demonstrates.

It's got the game, four exclusive unlocks, a cute chess set and a grim-looking samurai figurine. And we just got one. Delivered by a sexy geisha, no less.

Don't believe us?

 

Yeah, sometimes the job does not suck. And we've also taken a mess of shots of all the goodies, too. So check that out.

I wonder if they will sell the chess set as a separate item at a later date. Looks nice and well done.
