Up until Velvet Assassin was released and we started hearing about how the game essentially lacked the fun factor completely, I kept getting it confused with The Saboteur for whatever reason. But now, I have something else to differentiate the two games: The Saboteur is the one that comes with a knife as a pre-order bonus.
So, a knife. It must look pretty cool as an in-game weapon, right? I mean, they're trying to get us to reserve the game, so the item has to be a good incentive, doesn't it? Well, here's the thing -- this exclusive knife is nothing more than a Nazi knife, "stolen from your enemies."
Does this mean when you kill a Nazi in The Saboteur, you won't be able to pry the knife away from his cold, dead fingers? Sure, I'll suspend my disbelief when it comes to giant worms and what have you, but this? This is ridiculous.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

At first I was all:
"I'd like to pre-order Velvet Assassin please"
"Here's your free pre-order knife sir"
*raises knife*
"I'd also like ALL YOUR FUCKING MONEY"
Guess it makes sense as I highly doubt they would be able to give out knives with games. Retarded parents would give their 8 year old that wants this game the knife and blame the ESRB or some stupid shit for when their kid kills something...
