"Alan Wake is a game over 5 years in the making. The Windows and XBOX 360 exclusive will hit shelves in 2010 but developer Remedy has yet to widely release any gameplay footage of the title. Has it been over-hyped, or could this be the defining next-gen video game? Check out what we know so far of this modern psychological thriller."

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.

Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
Kind of a goody story...
On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.
Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.
Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.
Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.
Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄
So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.
I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.
I don't know why I am really anticipating this game as much as I am since Remedy has really shown pretty much nothing at all about this game but if this game is what I expect it to be (an awesome open world horror game) then I might buy a 360 just for it.
Great preview.It was very good.
Apart from the little info on Alan Wake,it continues to have a certain intriguing aspect on the story.I'll be sure to pick it up for PC as soon as a release date is down.
great...
But......When is it coming out? LOL
excellent preview, I hope Alan Wake doesn't suffer the same fate as Too Human
