  • A beautifully crafted world, stunningly presented. A cast of believable characters wrapped up in a narrative that's paced as reliably as a metronome. A fine balance of suspense and action.
  • Some disappointing set pieces. Wake's flamboyant literary agent, Barry, occasionally goes to great lengths to remind you that he's a caricature sidekick.

  • Abstract:  Stephen King once wrote, ‘Nightmares exist outside of logic, and there’s little fun to be had in explanations; they’re antithetical to the poetry of fear’. Finnish studio Remedy have taken this to heart; there are certainly a lot of illogical nightmare...

  • Abstract:  ALAN WAKE's arrived on PC finally, amidst howls of outrage and fist-shaking at both Remedy and Microsoft. Originally a broken promise, since the game was meant to be on both Xbox 360 and PC, Remedy has made amends by sprinkling petals of beauty to their o...

  • Abstract:  Alan Wake has been one of the most an cipated Xbox 360 titles since it was first announced at E3 way back in 2005. It’s now here, delivering an intriguing plot, drama c visuals and an immersive atmosphere, yielding more to the cerebral than skiet, skop...

  • Abstract:  Raise your hand if you’ve heard this one before. A writer suffering from writer’s block heads over to idyllic yet creepy town with beautiful wife to refill his creative juices. His wife suddenly disappears while his writings come to life. Writer scratc...

  • Intriguing storyline keeps you glued right till the end, unique style of combat, excellent audio-visual presentation

  • The Limited Edition of the Alan Wake Xbox 360 game Alan Wake is the horror action-game that wants to be a big-time television series. In fact, it’s even structured in terms of episodes instead of the customary gaming protocol, stages. That’s right, yo...

  • Après un développement chaotique, Alan Wake est enfin là ! Le titre de Remedy tient en partie ses promesses puisqu'il propose un scénario et une atmosphère d'un niveau exceptionnel. Ces derniers sont renforcés par des graphisme de qualité et des artist...

  • schaurigverrückte Atmosphäre, abgefahrene Levelarchitektur …, tolle Synchronsprecher, gelungener Soundtrack, brillant inszenierter Endkampf, stimmiges Ende bereitet den zweiten Teil vor
  • immer noch sehr kampflastig, … die an einigen Stellen verwirrt, teilweise etwas schwer, kein runder Abschluss der Geschichte, zu wenig Interaktion mit anderen Charakteren
