10 Pre-Orders Better Than The Game Itself

10. Alone In The Dark (2008) - Limited Edition

A reboot the classic survival horror game of the same name, 2008’s Alone In The Dark follows the gruff-voiced paranormal investigator Edward Carnby as he fights his way through a demon-infested Central Park to defeat a sinister cult.

Although this title boasted some impressive fire mechanics alongside other ambitious ideas, it has nevertheless become regarded as the worst entry in the series. Not only did this game suffer from some of the most infamous driving controls in modern games, but it also contained some laughably bad dialogue as well as awkward melee combat.

There was some reprieve from buyers’ remorse from those who picked up the Limited Edition version of the game, which was only available in Europe.

Packaged within a slick box, this version contained a small but detailed statue of Edward, an artbook, and a Making Of Alone In The Dark DVD that was packed full of behind-the-scenes content. However, the real jewel of this edition was a copy of the bombastic orchestral soundtrack; one of the best parts of the game.

With another reboot of Alone In The Dark starring David Harbour on the horizon, let's hope this version is just as good as its impressive-looking special edition.
