One of the most anticipated video games of the year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2(CODMW2), recently attempted to increase its “buzz” by also releasing its special Prestige Edition.

The special part about Prestige Edition is that it will include a set of fully working night vision goggles, and only for the small price of $150. (Don’t worry, the game is included too.)

With the previews for NHL ’10 already pumping my adrenaline, I figured I would look at some options for add-ons included with the NHL ’10 video game to get more hype. Here are the list of 10 items NHL ’10 could include to compete with CODMW2:

1.  Patrick Kane Edition; included is a replica Patrick Kane Mouth Guard: With PKane being the cover boy for this year’s edition, this is an obvious choice of add-ons. Now when you are playing the extremely realistic game, you can hang the mouth guard out the side of your chops and chew on it while making fancy dangles and even prettier goals. Just be sure not to wear it when playing against Johan Franzen, he isn’t a fan of the mouth guard.

2.  Jim Balsillie Edition; included is replica Blackberry phone. When I caught a glimpse of this little feature for the new EA game, it made me ponder how to make the game even more realistic. Now with Jim Balsillie mode, you can get messages on which teams are in financial trouble almost instantly. Then you can begin putting together another large amount of money to purchase the team. But do it fast or you may get that dreaded message from the Commish: “Not this time Jim!!”

3.  San Jose Sharks Edition; included is a state of the art stress relief kit. With this fancy add on, you will really get the feel of what it is like being the GM of the Sharks. When you play as the Sharks and are defeated in the first or second round of the playoffs, after a strong regular season finish, place your stress kit on a wall and use it while you wonder why your team just can't win the big games.

4.  Sean Avery Edition; included is a pair of the stupid sunglasses. When you put on these sunglasses you will instantly become the most hated player in the league. Playing as Avery in the game gets you suspended on a very constant rate. But don’t worry, with these sunglasses you will attract attractive ladies at Vogue, just be careful, some players may come after your slo...Never mind, I won’t go there.

Marian Gaborik/Rick Dipietro Edition; included is a pair of groin shorts. What are groin shorts you ask? A pair of shorts you put on while playing the game and experience it like pros Rick Dipietro and Marion Gaborik do. Around the third week of your dynasty, you groin shorts will produce an electro-shock that will continually bug you every game you play. This will cause you to have to simulate the majority of the season waiting for your groin pants to heal.

6.  Alexander Ovechkin Edition; included is a replica helmet and tinted visor
