Consider this your official reminder to download the first of two add-ons for Alan Wake, “The Signal.” For those who bought the game new, a redeemable code was packed in the box, rendering this a free download. Otherwise, it’ll cost you $7 — a fair price, based on what I’ve played so far.
Remedy does a good job of fleshing out some of the mechanics that weren’t fully realized in the on-disc story, and since this new chapter takes place in the dream-like “dark place,” there’s plenty of opportunities for unexplainable (and cool) stuff to happen.
Also, for those of you who redeemed the code early, you aren’t able to download “The Signal” yet. It’s not just you. An email with a working code will be sent to the email address tied to your Xbox LIVE gamertag soon.
