Collected Dreams

I got my Limited Edition copy of Alan Wake today and must say it's actually pretty cool. The limited edition includes the game (obviously), a code for the first piece of DLC, bonus DVD, Selected soundtrack and a book (The Alan Wake Files)... All inside special packaging that resembles a hardcover book. The first DLC won't be available till July, so it's a bit of a wait for that and i haven't watched the DVD yet (for fear of spoilers) but i have checked out the soundtrack and book and they're pretty cool. The soundtrack features 10 songs, Most of which are pieces of the score from the game and as such have a very creepy sound to them. The book is 130 pages and is set out as a set of documents put together by someone following Alan Wake. It includes character interviews, excerpts from the in-game manuscript (more about this tomorrow) and general background info on the setting, characters and elements of the game. All together it's a nice package and i like seeing special editions that aren't just the game + DLC. Depending on where you shop the limited edition will only set you back an extra $10-20 and i'd definitely recommend people with the extra cash check it out. Below are pictures of the contents and don't forget to come back tomorrow for my review on the game itself...
