Go and play Alan Wake already.

There is a "Buy two - get one" sale at Toys R Us this week. Buy two games for yourself, or even as x-mas gifts for someone, and get Alan Wake for free. It's my game of the year. Don't care what else is coming out - already saying it.

It comes with the first downloadable episode (The Signal) for free.

Now, take your Xbox online, and treat yourself to a couple of downloadable games. You've earned it. Get yourself Shadow Complex, 'Splosion Man, or even Costume Quest (out next week). XBLA has some of the best 360 games in general. Take advantage of it.

If you spend 2400 points (the cost of two downloadable games) in October, Microsoft will refund you 800 in November. Take those 800 points and use them to buy the final Alan Wake DLC (The Writer). It just became available today, and it's amazing. I'm totally high on this game right now.

So there you go, the best game of the year, and both downloadable epilogues FOR FREE.
