Its specifications include support for downloaded music and movies on Xbox Live, a touch screen, and HDMI output. That's great for people who are into portable media players but here at Xboxist we're all about the games. If Microsoft wants to impress us at E3 this year, they'll have to show us that the Zune is capable if interacting with Xbox Live in a meaningful way. The best thing they could do is announce that the Zune HD will play Xbox Live Arcade titles: talk about a megaton!"

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.
Please don't suck at E3 this year, Microsoft.
I'm waiting to see their waggle controller
There's only one thing MS has to do and that's bring a bunch of games, preferably exclusives. That's really where they're hurting compared to Sony right now. Could all change tomorrow. Hope so.
