Xbox 360 - Alan Wake
This game is SO fun, I cant stop playing it! There are a few little challenges, but for the most part it isnt too difficult, but i am playing it on Easy level. The story line is interesting and it's based in Seattle ;) I love how realistic it is, when Alan Wake is driving the Lincoln in the...

Forget Black Ops Zombies Forget Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombie mode, the new walking dead killing machine has just waltzed into town on horseback, wearing a cowboy hat.

Alan Wake - Review
A lot can change in five years. In May 2005, Survival Horror games were reeling from Resident Evil 4 completely rewriting the rules of the genre, the Xbox 360 was still six months away from launch, and we were just starting to hear the first whispers about the upcoming HD console's most promising...
Pros:
- Probably the most atmospheric videogame we've ever played
- Cracking thriller story with well-written characters
- Interesting use of light and dark in combat
Cons:
- Gets a little repetitive towards the end
- No multiplayer or Horde-style mode to add longevity
- Who left all those thermos flasks lying around

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...

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: 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

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 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.

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.
