Rise of Nightmares has a terrifying pre-order bonus
SEGA's Rise of Nightmares is coming to Xbox 360 next month, giving you the ability to flail in terror at a horror game and maybe have it mean something. And if you want to creep yourself out even further, you can go pre-order your copy from Amazon and receive a code to download this horrifying jester puppet Avatar pet. It will dance maniacally around your Avatar on the main Xbox menu. After looking at this thing for a few minutes, I'm really glad I almost never remember what I dream about at night. Did you know?
