"Awesome"
I'm usually all about action, but once you get into this my god, it's not only the right amount of scary, it's got the right amount of fun in it too. Seemed a little short, though any longer and it might have dragged. Thoroughly enjoyed it and sad it's over.

scary
I like the innovation : apart from the Quantic Dream team, this is one of the first narrator story (max payne style) that takes place in an environment of horror/suspense. The story is solid. The end is horrifying

Alan Wake Is Eye Candy Vs. Substance
When Remedy released Max Payne back in 2001, it had been in the works since 1998, and not many critics, myself included, ever thought the game would ever come out. And even more so, we also believed the game wouldn't live up to all the hype that it generated.

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.

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 review (X360)
Alan Wake is a tale of macabre horror, subtle product placement and trees. It's a tale that fittingly starts with a Stephen King quote about how horror -- true horror -- is unexplainable before then pulling out King's favourite self-projected protagonist: the horror author being turned slowly mad...

Alan Wake Review
After five years, can it be said that Alan Wake was worth the wait? Yes, it can, but Alan Wake is far from a perfect game. It does a fantastic job of bridging the gap between games and film, with a story that is executed so perfectly, with plenty of twists and turns and edge-of-your-seat moments.

Explaining What the Hell Alan Wake Is
There's a moment in Alan Wake , where the titular protagonist reads a passage that goes, "The new one will be a masterpiece, I know it! You must tell him not to listen to the trolls in the forums saying 'Departure' will never get finished. He should take his time and make it perfect. I can wait.
Pros:
- great stories and hybrid shooters
Cons:
- the dark

Alan Wake
The excellent combat builds on the fantastic storytelling, ensuring there is never a dull moment during this roughly 12-hour adventure. Alan Wake has a handy way of dealing with dark-fueled creatures: shine a flashlight on them.
Pros:
- Fresh storytelling fleshes out the supernatural events in interesting ways
- Satisfying combat mechanic makes disposing of evil creatures a blast
- Subtle lighting effects and a moody soundtrack create a disturbing atmosphere
- Optional collectibles are well worth risking your life to grab
Cons:
- Lacks surprising
- memorable gameplay moments
