Activision’s Prototype is looking sick in all the right ways -- you can run up buildings, rip mutant dog flesh with wicked claws, and even decapitate zombies with helicopter blades. We understand if you’re too hot for the title to wait for our review. So, if you’re thinking about grabbing the game on launch day, you may want to consider some of these pre-order details Activision announced this afternoon.

According to a press release we received, the big three retailers will all have a special -- and of course “exclusive” -- pre-order offer. If you reserve the Prototype from Gamecrazy, you’ll get a “Limited Edition Hard Back Art Concept Book” At Amazon, can you grab a “Limited Edition Prototype Comic” from Wild Storm. But the best deal, obviously, is with GameStop. If you pre-order there, you’ll get an Alex Mercer action figure and a 2-sided “Critical Hints Location Map/Poster.”

You can hit the break for some cold, hard details. The GameStop map is said to give “players a tremendous tactical advantage.” A boy can only hope that it lists the locations of every helicopter in the city. Zombie heads must roll.
