Alan Wake

Friday, 14th August 2009

“Alan Wake is a psychological action thriller from Remedy, the makers of the award-winning Max Payne games.” I have been waiting for this game when I caught wind of it in 2005. It had some hype then, and shortly after it fell off the radar. Alan Wake returned to make a splash at E3 this year showing off a beautiful trailer. This game is going to rock the Action-Thriller genre with its captivating story and astounding graphics. This game reminds me of the movie In the Mouth of Madness meets Silent Hill. Alan Wake has a skin crawling creepiness that seeps deep within you leaving breathless and wanting more.

This is a general idea of the story from Alanwake.com:

Alan Wake, a bestselling writer hasn’t managed to write anything in over two years. Now his wife, Alice, brings him to Bright Falls to recover is creative flow. But when she vanishes without a trace, Wake finds himself trapped in a nightmare. Word by word, his latest work, a thriller he can’t even remember writing, is coming true before his eyes.
