- yet simple
- combat mechanics

- Not massively groundbreaking
- a little short
- and lacking in any major replayability
- leeches some ideas from other classic titles

Alan Wake PC Review
The PC version of Alan Wake has been through quite a ride to finally get a release on the platform. It was originally slated to be released together with the Xbox 360 version, but Microsoft decided that " Alan Wake was a game that was best played from a couch in front of a large TV screen.

Alan Wake PC review
A true Remedy for PC owners or another console port nightmare? Alan Wake has been around on the Xbox for about 2 years now.

OXCGN's Alan Wake Review: A Waking Nightmare
So. Alan Wake. The story of the game's development is almost as interesting as the game itself – a twisting tale of extended production, major design changes, exclusivity deals, removal of the PC version and numerous E3 showings that each displayed a seemingly different game.

WR: Alan Wake (Xbox 360, PC)
Finnish developer Remedy, best known for the Max Payne games has blessed gamers with a thought-provoking suspenseful thriller, set in a beautifully crafted world. Drenched in darkness, you are the light. Moved forward by a well-written narrative we are taken into the world of author Alan Wake.
Pros:
- Intelligent and thought-provoking story

Cons:
- In-game facial models don't always look so good
- Cheap back attacks and overly picky dodge mechanic are annoying

Amazing, A Must Buy
It took me a little while before I picked up this game. I wanted to get it, but I never got around to it for some reason. Then my girlfriend started to get more into gaming and she loves horror games.

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...

Alan Wake review
First announced in 2005, Alan Wake is a psychological thriller five years in the making. We had our reservations, but Remedy's narrative-heavy foray has proved worth the wait.
Pros:
- A beautifully crafted world, stunningly presented
- A cast of believable characters wrapped up in a narrative that's paced as reliably as a metronome
- A fine balance of suspense and action
Cons:
- Some disappointing set pieces
- Wake's flamboyant literary agent, Barry, occasionally goes to great lengths to remind you that he's a caricature sidekick

Alan Wake is an art game for men. Unlike Flower or Braid this game features amazing cinematics, menacing Darkness monsters (à la the Heartless and Nobodies in Kingdom Hearts) and without a doubt the best storyline for a game I have played this year.
