"I just received the limited edition of Alan Wake this morning, and suffice to say, I absolutely love the thing. As soon as I opened it up and checked it all out I felt that it was within my duty as a games blogger to share it with you, in the event that you may be shaky over spending the extra £10/$15 on this version of the game."

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."

Remedy has announced a new Alan Wake book and more as part of their anniversary celebration.

Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
Kind of a goody story...
On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.
Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.
Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.
Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.
Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄
So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.
I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.
I'm torn on this game. I like the idea of it, but I can imagine it being very dull.
Nice seeing a high-quality special edition though. Better than spending £10 for some rubbish unlock code.
I'm not really into tins. They're just more expensive and drop in value almost immediately. Still, this one looks pretty nice.
I am shaking just thinking about Alan Wake. When you open the box, does mist creep out?
That's a pretty cool lookin box. Might have to put it on my bookshelf instead of my game shelf.
Looks like a very good limited edition. Much better than a thought.My best thing is the in game commentaries I love how Valve implemented that so seeing that in Alan Wake would warrant me playing through twice I cant wait. If you pre-order where I am it comes cheaper than the standard edition so no questions asked.
