Virtue's Last Reward pre-order bonus watches on sale for a limited time, all proceeds go to charity

The limited edition watches are up for grabs for a little while longer. And it helps out those in need.

As you all know, Hurricane Sandy rocked a huge portion of the east coast recently. My area was lucky. We only got a few inches of rain and a couple of downed trees. Other areas weren't as fortunate. Thousands were driven from their homes--or what's left of them--and they still need your help. If you need a little extra incentive to get involved in relief efforts (in addition to helping hurricane victims get necessary things like electricity, food and water), Aksys Games is there for the storm's victims and for you.

Through its new online store, Aksys is selling a limited number of Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward watches. Previously only available with pre-orders of the game, these VLR watches are going for $20 and all proceeds will go to the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts fund.

CEO of Aksys Games, Akibo Shieh, commented on the effort: “I’ve always felt that no matter what, it’s important to give back to the community wherever we can, especially during times such as these. Whether it’s an individual or a small company like us, if we all work together we can make a difference. We hope that our friends on the East Coast recover as quickly as possible.”

You officially have one less excuse to refrain from supporting charity.
