Review: Alan Wake "The Signal" DLC

The Signal is the first DLC "Special Episode" for Remedy's Alan Wake on the Xbox 360. It picks up where the story left off in the main game so obviously it's meant to be played after finishing it.

If you haven't played Alan Wake (what's wrong with you?) then you can read my review and find out what all the fuss is about.

I've decided the best thing to do is review The Signal in two ways. The first is a spoiler-free answer for people wondering if it's worth their time. The second is a detailed discussion of the plot in The Signal meant to be read after you've finished it. I just had to share it with somebody :)

What follows first is my spoiler-free review.

Alan Wake The Signal DLC Trailer

Hopefully this won't get lost in all the noise from E3 today, but I'm posting it here just to make sure it doesn't.

Here is a brief glimpse of The Signal, the first DLC episode for Alan Wake arriving on July 27 on Xbox Live.

Now I'm not sure when this is occuring, during or after the events of the game, but we see Alan and his agent Barry wondering through the woods and doing what they do best: killing freaks and making jokes. Let's hope they reach that sawmill.

All we know for sure is that it will be free to anyone who purchased a new copy of Alan Wake thanks to the code inside every copy of the game.

See you on the 27th.
