  • Abstract:  It's true that Alan Wake is a little derivative when you step back and consider it, with inspiration taken from a number of horror films, from The Fog to The Birds. But all this is pulled together so well, and it's so slickly presented, that any thoug...

  • If it’s deep complexity, smart AI, or great variation you’re after, then this probably isn’t the title for you. If, on the other hand, you love narrative and atmosphere, and are looking for an excellent pulp story with bags of character, occasional sh...

  • It’s not breaking the new ground some of us had hoped for, but Alan Wake is an enjoyable, technically impressive slice of psychological horror for your 360. While it sometimes veers more towards Garth Marenghi than Stephen King, the bits it gets right ...

  • Abstract:  Alan Wake was a big surprise; for the most part, it actually lived up to its billing. The psychological thriller from Remedy Entertainment and Microsoft Game Studios was absolutely successful at recounting a gripping, suspenseful, intelligent story that g...

  • Abstract:  You don't always have to sit down to an epic, 100-hour slog to get your gaming in. Developers are delivering plenty of great bite-size, episodic games that (usually) release one part at a time.If you're looking for something you can play in installments, ...

  • Ultimately, Alan Wake doesn’t come off as the main course meal many wished it was going to be. The combat can be a bit repetitive, and the story doesn’t hit all the right notes. But in the end, the atmosphere of the game is unparalleled. The combat is ...
