So you know when Alan Wake hit store shelves -- May 19. You know what's inside the Limited Edition box, too. But when you go to the store, what should you be looking for?
This stuff, apparently. Microsoft and Remedy have released more detailed images of the game's Limited Edition, which (as advertised) ships in a box that looks like a hardcover novel. It also comes with three discs -- the game, a bonus disc, and the soundtrack. If you ask me, that's just more stuff that can get scratched up.
We also get a look at the game's final box art, which is about as understated as you can get. While I'm getting pretty pumped about the game, I'm not sure how I feel about the packaging. What do you guys think? Hoping there's something a little bit more interesting on the flip-side of the box art sleeve?

Max Payne's cover art was more subtle.
hur hur hur
But seriously, understated box art is just fine. After the travesty of the Mass Effect 2 box art, I'm very much liking the less-is-more approach.
From what I have read it sounds like a game that wants to be a tv series.
But this on my MUST BUY list now.
Then I realized it was just the case.. :[
I love how people always complain about how bad cover art is here in the West compared to europe and japan. There the art is always more understated, whereas here in the US we tend to slap stupid, gigantic, ugly images of the game's characters all over the front.
Then we finally get some decently classy art here and people complain it's not flashy enough. Ridiculous.
