Alan Wake
The suspense/horror novels have been a favorite of mine for a long time. While my English teachers were assigning required reading such as Of Mice and Men or Great Gatsby, my nose was buried deep in the works of Stephen King and Dead Koontz.

Alan Wake
Alan Wake has been one of the most ancipated Xbox 360 titles since it was first announced at E3 way back in 2005. It's now here, delivering an intriguing plot, dramac visuals and an immersive atmosphere, yielding more to the cerebral than skiet, skop en donner.
Pros:
- Gripping storyline and presentation
- Excellent environments
Cons:
- Lip-syncing sometimes on the same level as dubbed kung-fu movies from the past

Awesome survival horror game!
If you like survival horror games with good story and action you will love this game. Just imagine a train getting thrown at you and weird stuff like that.
Pros:
- graphics are awesome
- Story is awesome
- Combat is awesome
- Game is nice and long took me about 11 hours to beat
- You really have to survive in the game
Cons:
- The controls are kind of easy to get into
- The character likes to switch views from left and right all the time in 3rd person
- You got to correct it by pressing in the left stick
- I just got used to having my character on either left or right on the screen.

Review: Alan Wake (360)
Alan Wake has been in pre-production and production since 2001 and was announced officially at E3 2005. Seeing as how it is now summer of 2010, that is a long frickin' time for a game to be worked on… like approaching on a Duke Nukem Forever time frame.
Pros:
- Creepy atmosphere
- very well put together in all respects
Cons:
- Kinda short, a bit confusing
- how long will we have to wait for a proper sequel

Alan Wake Review
At E3 2005, Finnish developer Remedy (of Max Payne fame) pulled me aside for a behind-closed-doors view of a freshly-announced title called Alan Wake. While there was little in the way of actual gameplay, the technology they showcased was beyond anything I'd seen to date.

Alan Wake Xbox 360 Review
Stephen King is one of the most imaginative and bestselling writers in the world. It's really quite surprising that more games haven't been inspired by his work, or that he hasn't been involved in any gaming stories himself, although surely he's been approached on a number of different occasions to...

Alan Wake Is Eye Candy Vs. Substance
When Remedy released Max Payne back in 2001, it had been in the works since 1998, and not many critics, myself included, ever thought the game would ever come out. And even more so, we also believed the game wouldn't live up to all the hype that it generated.

Alan Wake (Xbox 360)
This adventure game is fantastic to play, this game is like a Stephen King movie. The story in this game is great and long, so if you like me and collect everything it will be quite a long time before you finish it to 100%.

Cons:
- In-game facial models don't always look so good
- Cheap back attacks and overly picky dodge mechanic are annoying
- Left bumper button/left thumbstick combo for dodge move is awkward
- Wake's movements are a bit clunky and he's not very responsive when trying to scale environmental objects
- The game is...
