Alan Wake Review
For over six years, Remedy has been tinkering away at Alan Wake , the Finnish developers' follow-up to Max Payne 2 , resurfacing intermittently at different E3s over the years. For such a lengthy development period and ambitious subject matter, is Alan Wake worth the wait? Undoubtedly.
Pros:
- Fantastic atmosphere created with aesthetics and sound
- Running away is just as satisfying as fighting
- Intriguing characters
- story and location
Cons:
- Wake can control clumsily at points
- Some pointless achievement based collecting
- Some major plot moments lack a strong payoff

Alan Wake
At the risk of making so many bad puns about Alan Wake finally stepping into the light, away from the darkness of development hell â€" given the games central theme of light and shadow â€" we have to be honest and admit that it is somewhat of a relief to finally play Alan Wake.

Survival Horror, Action You put the lime in the coconut and drink ‘em both up. Writers eh Bunch of whiney bastards, sitting around typewriters and laptops alike, punching keys like a thousand monkeys on a thousand typewriters in the vague hopes that something mildly coherent will be produced.

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
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

An absolutely beautiful game.
I'll start off on a negative, Alan Wake isn't scary. It's supposed to be some kind of psychological horror, but it doesn't scare me at all. It has quite a scary atmosphere to it. But it's nothing really special and it doesn't make me feel uneasy.
Pros:
- Beautiful graphics
- good gunplay
- unique and an amazing story
Cons:
- Not scary enough
