Silent Hill: Shattered Memories: Soundtrack.
Splinter Cell: Conviction: In-game semi-automatic shotgun.
Star Trek Online: Codefor USS Enterprize.

Again, not too much, just some interesting things. Also, not everything might be available, because we often suck at keeping these in (A.K.A. Employees take them). I can't say I've Pre-ordered a game just for the bonus, but its something to think about.
I'd love to get that RE Darkside shirt, but I couldn't help myself, and I went with GameCrazy for the money clip. I'm interested in the in-game sword for Red Steel 2, though... Have to see how that game turns out.

about me
I'm from a small town in Iowa, about to graduate with a Magazine Journalism degree from Drake University. Games were what I did as a kid to keep me entertained, along with sports. I started on the Genesis w/ Columns, and just kinda kept going. I kept up the hobby through elementary and high school, getting some of my friends into video games. I now work at a Gamestop here in Des Moines, and try to keep up with most every game that does come out.
Games I'm smitten with right now:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Borderlands
Left 4 Dead
Destructoid is an independently-run publication forged by our love of video games and the gaming community's need of accountable enthusiast press living the dream since March 16, 2006

I hate when they give away "better guns" for online multiplayer games... it's like buying a small advantage.
