Alan Wake
Five years in the making is a very long time for any game and is rarely a good omen. Within half an hour it's obvious where the five years went. The world of Alan Wake, the town of Bright Falls is incredibly detailed. It's hard to convey just how much has gone in to it.

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.

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

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

Alan Wake (Xbox 360)
This adventure game is fantastic to play, this game is like a Stephen King movie. The story in this game is great and long, so if you like me and collect everything it will be quite a long time before you finish it to 100%.

Overslept
Five years (plus) in the making, Remedy Entertainment's Alan Wake is finally upon us. Having gone through several changes and an unusually long development period, one of the biggest question marks in recent video game history has finally materialized.
Pros:
- The external environments are beautiful
Cons:
- The player sees far too much of them

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 Review
It's hard to describe Alan Wake without giving the story away too much, let's just say it's a gripping action/horror game that has spawned two DLC packs since its 2010 release. With prices dropping to as low as £8.99 it's certainly worth investigating.
