Alan Wake add-on sees the light in July

Don't buy it, it's really kinda boring. Rent for a weekend for the cheap thrills.

u cool

super cool story bro

Pretty much every activision game has entries on Gamefuqs.com

oh wait no wait

touche acosta

Nice, just another good reason to get an awesome game!

Pretty sure I didn't reply to this comment, but oh well.

Nothing was "cut". DLC is now a key part of development for every developer, whether they it in public or not.

That, my friend, is not a cause for concern, however.

Alan Wake as a game is a linear story driven experience, so of course you'd expect 10-12 hours. This isn't an RPG. I bought most AAA linear story driven experiences last generation and they were the same length. And from what I hear, Alan Wake offers a very satisfying conclusion, but it leaves doors open, just like every game that gets sequelized (not a bad thing).

Alan Wake's DLC simply offers more beyond what you get on day one. This makes me happy. I always beg devs to offer some good single player DLC. We don't get enough of it. Usually it's either complete shit or it's multiplayer maps.

When you buy a game, you're entitled to what's in the retail box. And there are many reviews and impressions to take in before spending $59.99 on a game. Anything beyond that is certainly a component of the game that you are not entitled to. Whether it's worth the $5-$10 they charge is another argument. But just like when you buy a standard stock car and you get average wheels/rims, you're not entitled to something more or better. You have to pay extra if you want to go beyond the stock option. You pay for what's in the package. And you're getting the full Alan Wake game as it was intended. And if you read reviews, most people seem to be satisfied with the experience you get on day one.

Good post-launch DLC should be encouraged. And this is free. Always nice.

Little Big Planet has paid DLC.

As does every other big PS3 release.

Blu-ray doesn't equal jack when it comes to free DLC.

So how about that 5 hour Heavenly Sword? Great game, but Blu-ray did that game's length no great service!

Almost every big PS3 game has paid DLC.

Your trolling fails. Try harder.
