Alone in the Dark scares up a limited edition

by Alexander Sliwinski { Apr 22nd 2008 at 4:00PM }

For pack rats who salivate for all things Carnby, Atari has released images to CVG of what collectors can expect to find inside the Alone in the Dark Limited Edition box. Currently only confirmed for release in Europe, the box will contain an Edward Carnby doll, official soundtrack CD, art book, making-of documentary and the game. There's currently no price attached and the limited edition is available only for Xbox 360, Wii and PC.

We'll take this as a sign that the oft-delayed game might actually (shockingly) release June 24. After all, how can there be a "making-of documentary" if the game isn't done, right? Whether the game actually sells as well as Infogrames is predicting ... we'll have to wait and see.

odk, im still not sold, And I think Atarigrames is a little aggresive on the number of units sold. I will be suprised if it gets over $1m lifetime

And I thought I looked like a dork when I walked out of GameStop with a large Big Daddy figurine....

thats one helluva nice package for one helluva ?? game. they need to actuallt get some good press if they wanna sell that thing.

actullt=actually

btw, WhoTF would want a figure of some guy, in a jacket, with a gun, how friggin' boring. Aren't there some monsters in this game that would look cool next to my Big Daddy?

Boring guy is boring.

I know the figurine of the unexpresive hero of the game is pretty lame but the soundtrack alone is awesome.

I totally plan on renting this later, it looks promising and fun, but I predict there won't be enough replay value to buy it. Plus, I know I'll be buying GTA IV, and spending my all my gaming time there for a while.

Also, I remember when old computer games used to come in cool boxes with colorful maps, and instruction manuals and cool pieces of paper and little bonus junk. That was fun.

"After all, how can there be a "making-of documentary" if the game isn't done, right?"

It could be like the very popular documentary, Highlander, which was a work in progress and shot in real time.

I completely forgot this game was coming out on Wii.

Shignami @ Apr 22nd 2008 7:44PM

I didn't know till just now.

And here I was thinking about finally getting that 360.

Nicholas Sulikowski @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:22PM

Actually I forgot about this game in general.

Rocko @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:29PM

it's not a doll! It's an action figure!

KiraXD @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:39PM

actually the correct term is Figurine sp?) . Since "action"-figure pertains to points of articulation (movable limbs)

hvnlysoldr @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:41PM

They're not dolls! They're aspiration figures. Get a modern life you wallaby bum.

Courtney @ Apr 22nd 2008 4:59PM

Wait, shouldn't a collector's edition include the movie, Uwe Boll's magnum opus exploring one man's quest to find his place in the world?

Shmil @ Apr 22nd 2008 5:38PM

They'd have to lower the price to below $60 if they were going to package it with that piece of shit.

rainking187 @ Apr 22nd 2008 5:27PM

I know that guy's the main character, but shit they could use a little variety don't you think? Instead of sticking his face on everything? I'm assuming there's something in this game besides him they could have put on there.

Naota @ Apr 22nd 2008 6:32PM

You make a good point.

Zootittles @ May 7th 2008 5:13PM

Also, on the Xbox 360 cover, he is depicted against a white background. WTF, THIS IS NOT THE DARK.

Alex @ Apr 22nd 2008 5:29PM

I hope it delivers.
Just the same as I hope MGS4 delivers, even though I don't have or want a PS3. Wouldn't it be hair-larious if MGS4 sucked worse than the King Kong game...I shouldn't laugh at that...
