Getting to pre-order your copy of Hellgate: London might be trickier for some of you. Not all regions will be having the same kind of bonuses as others would. For one, the Collector's Edition for the game will not be available for the whole of Europe. Those who want to score the bag of goodies included in the Collector's Edition (e.g. the soundtrack, extra artwork, a graphic novel, etc.) are advised to import their copy of the game from the US.

Meanwhile, pre-orders for the regular edition are well underway. Pre-ordering your copy gives you access to some in-game goodies: Dye Kits, Founders Offer, etc. Different countries will have different video game retailers participating in the pre-order campaign. Here's a full list of regions and their participating retailer(s):

• Germany - Gamestop
• Switzerland - World of Games
• Poland - Gram.pl and Ultima
• Finland - Tilt
• Sweden - GAME, EB Games/Gamestop
• Norway - GAME, EB Games/Gamestop
• Denmark - GAME, EB Games/Gamestop

Unfortunately for the UK, no retailers will be participating in the promotion. Yes, you can still pre-order the game (via HMV, Play, Amazon, or Game) but you won't be able to get the Dye Kit offer.

Halloween's just around the corner, and Blizzard's celebrating it too, with an interesting gaming twist! Blizzard's giving out Blizzards iPods to five lucky winners of the Blizzard Costume Contest, which is already ongoing.

Want to join? Well, if you're aged 15 and up, and happens to be residing in the specified countries (take a look at the bottom of the article), then just dress up as your favorite Blizzard character (any Blizzard game will do) and send in your photo via email. You need to take two pictures of yourself, one prior to the Blizzard character makeover (meaning, you should be in normal clothes), and another when you're in full Blizzard-character garb. Errr no, photoshoppery is banned in this contest, so stay away from photo modifications, alright?

All photos are to be submitted through the Contest Submission page, so better bookmark it now if you intend to join. They're accepting entries until November 1 only, so better get your creative juices flowing before Halloween. Want to know whether you're eligible or not? Check out the list below:

• Participants aged 15 or more residing in:
• France
• Belgium
• United Kingdom
• Luxembourg
• Participants aged 18 or more residing in:

Remember, this is a Blizzard Costume Contest, so stray away from that Spongebob Squarepants costume of yours, alright?
