Just like we have told you that there is no game on the horizon like BioShock, Alan Wake is another Xbox 360 game that can't be compared to any other title. And if you think this game is similar to Alone in the Dark or the Silent Hill series, you're about to get a surprise.
Alan Wake is described by Remedy as a "psychological action thriller". The game's backdrop story is about a horror writer who uses his dreams- which most of the time are nightmares- as a source for his work. When he met Alice, Alan found a muse that helped inspire him to write a novel that quickly became a best selling book. He became famous and rich; everything looked like a dream until Alice disappears without a trace
It’s part of the GOG Preservation Program, which ensures it stays running on modern PCs.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."
Remedy has announced a new Alan Wake book and more as part of their anniversary celebration.
