I have been waiting for a good excuse to buy this game. Dropping under $30 seems like a good one (it's still $98 at EB).
Alan Wake (Xbox 360) £14.95 + £1.29 = £16.24
Which converts to about $28 (plus whatever your credit card company shafts you with for turning the Aussie Dollar into Pounds).
I have bought too many games from dvd.co.uk and have nothing but good things to say.
Description (for those living under a rock):
Alan Wake is a psychological action thriller, a unique new take in the world of gaming. The game is set in an idyllic all-American small town and its surroundings in the state of Washington. Alan Wake, the games protagonist, is a bestselling horror writer, who writes a novel about his darkest nightmares. In the game, those nightmares come true. As with Remedys previous games, story and atmosphere are fundamental elements.
The game features a massive, open world for the players to explore. The game design is mission based with the player as the driving force behing the action, and as with their previous games, Remedy again focuses completely on delivering the best possible single player experience.
Does the Australian XBLA DLC for this game work on this release?
