Alan Wake. (The Stephen King of Videogames) I wasnt following this game all that much when it was first released and it slipped past me, no thanks to to job I was working, but when I actually sat down and played it after a friend loaned it to me, I was incredibly suprised. I'm a sucker for a good story, and a huge fan of Stephen King to boot, so this story was hauntingly familiar in its telling and the gameplay kept it moving fluidly, never missing a beat. Some parts within the chapters are a little slow and feel like they lag, but they're easily overlooked and the combat system is interstingly fun, using a flashlight to wound enemies was never so invigorating. The dark setting, darker world, evil at every turn and gripping storyline never fail to impress and heres to hoping Remedy has a similar story in the works somewhere!
