official Alan Wake (PC/X360)

[The Laughing Man]

I was looking forward to this title especially since it was going to be released on the PC, but now since that isnt the case I lost total interest in this game. I do have an Xbox 360 yet to it's just not the same.

I would buy this game if it was on the 360, PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox, PS2 or whatever. Gameplay and story is where it's at, and it has it (from what we can see in vids) in spades.

I can't actually wait to get this game next week! Should be pretty good, I've been looking forward to it for some time...

I'll be sure to post my early opinions here (I'll be getting it early for review).

Annoys me so much about my pay transfer, starting school, change of contract etc. means I won't be getting any money the entire next month - I really want this game bad :/

Alan Wake, Red Dead Redemption, and Lost Planet 2 are all going to be taxing the budget next month. I think all of our wallets feel bad enough already not to mention those three!

Yeah but usually you buy games with a bit in the wallet, mine is empty, have nothing, nada, zip and I still have bills and all that - It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Terrible timing for a gamer :p

Lucky you.

Yeah, thanks a lot...:\

I just hope that it's not been ruined by dumbing it down too much for a 15 rating...

Max Payne was a BBFC 15. Hell, more recently, Kick-Ass is a 15! That has an 11 year old calling everyone a **** and dismemberment! :F

Though I'm sure that all depends on how much say so Microsoft got over the final cut of the game.

Seems like Microsoft is copying EA's an extra $10 for second hand games idea then.

Game is just looking better and better! I hear it is about 16 hours long which isn't too bad I suppose. Better than most recent games, *cough* Splinter Cell *cough*!

Sure, longer is better, but then I played splinter cell's story mode twice and I'm going to play it a 3rd time for kicks. Plus if you do the deniable ops it'a another few hours right there (depending on how fast you are).

Splinter Cell co-op adds another 6 hours ish or so on top of the 7 for the campaign as well.

Good point, I didn't know it was that long, that's pretty cool.

Yes, well I was talking about the SP because Alan Wake doesn't have MP. 16 hours is enough to keep people entertained though. :)

[George P Global Moderator]

I was going to by it regardless, pre-order even, but hearing it's got 16hrs to it just makes the choice even more clear.
