Alan Wake

Post by Red Devil »

just finished playing it for 14 hours straight through. (okay, a small break for dinner)

really beautiful graphics and scenery and a very rich story with very well balanced gameplay/action.

it's like being immersed in a very polished book or movie that you just can't put down.

it's one of the very best games i've ever played. i recommend you get it on steam, whether it's on sale or not.

forgot to say it has the best use of a flashlight - and light in general - of any game i've played.

14 hours of of pure sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat enjoyment. i played on easy difficulty, too.

I like Alan's sneering... and that he's a complete ass. I can really get behind this man who's abusive to his wife and eats entire thermos compulsively. He drinks a lot, gets in fights whenever he can, and hates his fans. Wake is also a bad writer.

Gametrailers thought it was pretty darn good.

I may give it a shot.
