Gamereactor sat down with Remedy's Sam Lake and Matias Myllyrinne to talk about Alan Wake and the development has been like.

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.
Its good to know that Remedy is focused on the 360 and it shows because Alan Wake truly looks like a spetacular game. The lighting is brilliant whether its day or night and the charachter models, ground textures, details in the draw distance everything is just beautifully rendered in this game. Seems like there is a great story going on so as long as the gameplay holds up without any major fault's like being too repetitive then theres no doubt AW will be a worthy franchise among the heavy weights in the industry, I'm definitely interested in Remedy's "seasons" approach with this game, lol, so I guess that means we won't have to wait 5yrs for AW: Season 2.
