Another Look at Alan Wake
Mobility: 5 This game does not offer remappable controls, the given control schemes are similar. The game is fast pace and profides few options in customization.

Overslept
Five years (plus) in the making, Remedy Entertainment's Alan Wake is finally upon us. Having gone through several changes and an unusually long development period, one of the biggest question marks in recent video game history has finally materialized.
Pros:
- The external environments are beautiful
Cons:
- The player sees far too much of them

Alan Wake
Absolutely loved this game. Great balance of suspence, horror and action with a compelling story. Approx 7-8 hour game that had me so gripped that I completed it in 2 sittings. Highly recommended.

Alan Wake - Xbox 360
But if Alan Wake is too late to be a flagship title, it's still a memorable, exciting game. For all that the gameplay is linear and the exploration limited, it doesn't matter, because the hands-on experience of playing the game (preferably with lights off, on your own, with sound turned high or...
Pros:
- Gripping moments can really win you over
- atmospheric effects are excellent
Cons:
- Can be very linear at times

Alan Wake: The Writer Review
At least those of us who played the expansions didn't get a leg up on the disc-only folk. This appears to have been Remedy's goal, after all. From the outset, they've dulled the bold strokes of the Alan Wake concept in a desperation to ensure that everyone got the complete experience.

Alan Wake: The Writer DLC review
Alan Wake's final piece of DLC, The Writer, may frustrate some players, but those who can forego closure for intrigue are in for a treat, writes Nick Cowen.

Borderlands: Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot
If Borderlands was a breath of fresh air and its first piece of add-on action, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned , was too much more of the same, then Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot should be a hoot, right Due to it being quite different from the main game and all. No! A thousand times no, sir!

Alan Wake: The Writer Review
If Alan Wake taught me anything, it's that writing is a dangerous profession, even more when you are in a place where things you scribble down on paper become reality! The Writer , Alan Wake 's final 'special feature' downloadable content, dives head-first into Alan's psyche, delivering a solid...
Pros:
- Extremely engaging
- Smart reuse of environments from the original
- Great self-referential dialogue

This generation's "Eternal Darkness."
So, in the end, I loved Alan Wake generally through and through. While the scare tactics did lose a little punch towards the end, the game remained consistently enjoyable and challenging straight through. The story is great, and again, it's the closest thing we have to a Stephen King video game.
Pros:
- I'm a horror fan
- I'm a huge horror fan
- And one thing that I think is important above all else, is atmosphere
- Hell, a stellar atmosphere can make up for shoddy acting or iffy writing
- My favorite movie
Cons:
- Honestly, this game fires so consistently on so many cylinders that noticing the few bad items isn't exactly easy
- But there are a couple issues holding it back from true perfection

Alan Wake - DLC - Special Episode 2: The Writer Review
If you were a fan of the main game simply for its gameplay either pack is worth a look, but if you want more of the story they must be experienced together (if at all). They are functionally an unnecessary addition to the story, serving only to bring the player in a tight circle back to where they...
