A Nightmare Turns to Life
Alan Wake is a bestselling horror novelist who moved to the small town of Bright Falls, Washington after suffering from insomnia and depression. Wake is able to sleep again, but after he meets a mysterious woman, he begins to have terrible nightmares. As he puts these nightmares on paper for a new book, he soon notices that all the things that happen in his book are coming true right before his eyes.

Using cinematic effects and technology such as real-time lighting, shadows and reflections, you'll be treated to a game that is oozing with atmosphere and able to invoke an emotional response from the player. The realistic environment features real-time weather and light changes that effect the game play for a remarkably immersive experience.

Explore an Entire Town
The town of Bright Falls is 100 square kilometers, and players will be able to roam through this incredibly detailed area any way they like, roaming the town or wandering out to the lakes, forest, satellite towns, and more. The game gives the player goals, but how he chooses to go about completing them is up to him. Clues are scattered throughout the town, and solving mysteries will require players to pay close attention to the little details.

Intense Combat
In addition to solving puzzles and exploration, the game also pushes players into serious action and combat; when night comes, creatures will take their best shots at Alan, and you'll have to be quick with strategy as well as weapons to beat them back.

Alan Wake presents an unusual and new gaming experience that features a riveting, multi-layered story while giving the player the ability to freely roam a giant environment. It supports Dolby Digital sound.

5 out of 5 stars Living in darkness   August 16, 2010
Carlton T. Barzon
I'm 5 chapters deep into the story so far, and I'm really enjoying this game. The story really pulls you in and the atmosphere is often genuinely frightening. Combat can be a little spotty (dodging almost never works the way you'd like and you're almost always surrounded), but it really makes you feel like you're an average guy opposing the forces of darkness.

5 out of 5 stars Incredible game   August 9, 2010
L. A. Amaya (El Salvador)
Probably the best game of 2010. If you love great stories and narrative in games this is the one you have to get. Gameplay super fun. It's simply the best.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing Rental   August 8, 2010
Mel Gobsin (NY)
It's been a couple of weeks since I've rented and beat this game, but I still think about it. I will most likely buy it in the future. This game feels closest to Dead Space for me.

Pros:
The effects and visuals in the game are some of the best I've seen.
The dark storm effects are crazy.
The best forestry I remember seeing in a game.
It has the best use of lighting I've seen.
Top notch story.
Great acting (made for TV quality)
Rivals the tension of Dead Space (Can be a overwhelming for long sessions)
I liked how the controls were set up.

Cons:
Encounters get repetitive towards the end.
Talking looked unnatural sometimes.
The end was confusing.
