Alan Wake
You can approach this axe-wielding, boogeyman-dodging thriller in two ways: as a literate, sophisticated mystery told in the form of a videogame, or as a frantic, pulse-pounding actioner about rationing ammo and light sources.
Pros:
- + Sophisticated narrative pairs well with cinematic gameplay, + White-knuckle atmosphere
- polished combat controls
Cons:
- - Gameplay variety peaks after a while
- pretty linear, ? Wait, wait, wait..

Alan Wake Review
Alan Wake has been entirely worth the wait. Remedy gave themselves a cool nine months just to perfect the title and it's clear they have used their time wisely. Very few games deliver such technical splendour AND intense plot.

An inventive take on survival horror with a mind bending plot and twists that will make you jump.
Summary Imagine if you will a town nestled in the mountains. Twisting roads lead to scenic resorts, a popular lake, and a quaint small-town community. Picture if you will a man, a writer whose horror suspense books have sold millions of copies who is haunted by his own inner demons.
Pros:
- Great graphics
- Excellent use of environmental sounds
- Intriguing Story
- Excellent DLC and Spin-Off
Cons:
- Movement is not always as fluid as it could be
- Difficulty level is somewhat uneven
- Just what does Alan do with all those Thermos bottles

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 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: Limited Edition (Xbox 360)
Alan Wake has a few reasons’ preventing this from being a perfect game for the Xbox 360. Remedy, nor us the gamers, are perfect. Remedy did make the perfect title for the Xbox that we haven’t seen this generation.
Pros:
- Original Story
- Graphics
- Control
Cons:
- Character Animations
- Character Lip-syncing
- Replay Value

Alan Wake
Despite it's flaws, Alan Wake is not a game you can miss out on. The five years, although a long time, has clearly been worth it. Alan Wake is like a fine wine; left to age, it really has let the quirky flavours and fun notes of pop culture blossom.
Pros:
- It's Twin Peaks: The Game
- The story is fresh and unique
- The use of light as a weapon is fantastic
Cons:
- Combat can be a bit iffy
- Deaths sometimes feel cheap
- Just not long enough

"Who's afraid of the dark?"
Alan Wake has had a bumpy ride during the course of its development, one that began way back around the release of the Xbox 360 and one time there was even talk of it ever surfacing at all.
