HOLY SHIT ALAN WAKE IS GREAT I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT PLAYING IT.

RIGHT ALAN?

HOLY SHIT A PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER!

Okay I don't have the energy to keep this up. Game came in early at work, so I grabbed it and played through it. It took three nights of very steady playing, probably a fifteen hour game on Normal.

Overall very satisfied. Combat plays somewhat like Resident Evil 5 with perspective and flashlight instead of laser sight. The atmosphere was more exciting than RE5 though.

Story was also very good. Maybe not award winning, but a cut well above your average game. I even have the gall to say the writing is superior to my precious Mass Effect games. Great foreshadowing, great imagery, great characters. Many similarities to Heavy Rain, including the jerk-ass protagonist, though I'd say thoroughly superior (only thing Heavy Rain has is the branching storyline).

Since it's only good for one maybe two playthroughs, this probably isn't a must buy for many. But I do urge you to rent it and play it after Tuesday if you've got an xbox. It's easily worth that.

More official review will appear on Gamepad Dojo, someday!

WELL, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT BUT THAT SOUNDS FUCKING AWESOME! YAY!

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIT

I usually shy away from the horror gender of anything (due to me not liking being scared or a Pussy if you will) But Wake has caught my interest more then enough times to rent it.
Watching some of the Videos of it in HD makes it look fucking amazing. the darkness actually looks alive. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Azis is reviewing this so now I can't play it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

EDIT: No but seriously this game looks pretty great, and we're just jealous. What little I know about it kinda makes me think Deadly Premonition, but instead of So Bad It's Good just being Good. Or something.

I thought this game died years ago. Where the fuck did this come from all of a sudden?

This game is by a finnish development studio. You should all BUY it. I plan to, if enough people recomend it to me first.

It was just in development for a long time. But it's here now.

I loved Max Payne 1 and 2, I will probably love Alan Wake. Even if it's not the same "thing", I can tell the writing and story are going to be great like MP.

oh! Trust me! from The Snips of Game Play I Have come across I in videos, this Thing will Have story out The wazoo

Oh yes, the story is basically competing directly in importance with the gameplay. And that's saying a lot considering its a video game.

This was my first exposure to Alan Wake, and after a day of research I've decided to buy it ASAP.
