After a number of delays, it turns out it's not that long until you all get to play Remedy's Alan Wake. Just recently it was confirmed the game will be ready by May 18th of this year, so what is it that has everyone excited about the latest game from the studio that brought you Max Payne? Part of the game was being shown off at Microsoft's X10 press event in San Francisco, where Remedy was on hand giving a short presentation.

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.
Sounds pretty good.
This game is s must buy for me..Why doesn't MS do this every year..It's sad we had to wait a long time to get some many great titles in 1 calendar yr..but whatever there making it up for it BIG TIME!! The graphics look impressive as well. The story is probably some crazy sh!t..seeing as how them Max Payne dudes made the game..Can't wait for May 18th..
