Review: Alan Wake (360)
Alan Wake has been in pre-production and production since 2001 and was announced officially at E3 2005. Seeing as how it is now summer of 2010, that is a long frickin' time for a game to be worked on… like approaching on a Duke Nukem Forever time frame.
Pros:
- Creepy atmosphere
- very well put together in all respects
Cons:
- Kinda short, a bit confusing
- how long will we have to wait for a proper sequel

Awesome survival horror game!
If you like survival horror games with good story and action you will love this game. Just imagine a train getting thrown at you and weird stuff like that.
Pros:
- graphics are awesome
- Story is awesome
- Combat is awesome
- Game is nice and long took me about 11 hours to beat
- You really have to survive in the game
Cons:
- The controls are kind of easy to get into
- The character likes to switch views from left and right all the time in 3rd person
- You got to correct it by pressing in the left stick
- I just got used to having my character on either left or right on the screen.

Alan Wake
Alan Wake has been one of the most ancipated Xbox 360 titles since it was first announced at E3 way back in 2005. It's now here, delivering an intriguing plot, dramac visuals and an immersive atmosphere, yielding more to the cerebral than skiet, skop en donner.
Pros:
- Gripping storyline and presentation
- Excellent environments
Cons:
- Lip-syncing sometimes on the same level as dubbed kung-fu movies from the past

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 Review
I was excited to give Alan Wake a go. Make no mistake, it's not the sort of game I usually pick up. I like simple and fun games like Mario Kart – I tend to avoid games where people are shooting at me, because it makes me feel slightly oppressed.

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.

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
