That was the impression I got as well but I'd look upon it as more of an adventure game than an FPS.

pctech · May 12, 2010, 18:35:03

Yes.

Should be pretty special considering they've been developing it for five years.

Damn it !!!! Just returned from town and have forgotten to buy this

Oh, isn't that infuriating!

Interesting... i played this on XBox at my Big Bro's yesterday. He pre ordered and received it Friday. I was only on it for 5 mins or so before it was wrestled off me but from what i saw was pretty good, will be buying it myself.

I'm looking forward to Red Dead Redemption, roll on 21st May!!

I never had you down as a gamer, Miriam.

Well, it took me a while to get beyond walking into a wall for 5 minutes but i *think* i got the hang of it now XD

Big fan of TF and TF2, currently having fun with AVP having become well and truly bored of WOW.

I never got beyond solitaire.

I have it but not played it yet as too busy taking on Cisco IOS to take on the Taken just at the moment.

There is a set of prequal videos on alanwake.com which give detail the events leading up to the game.

Had a break and played AW last night.

Was absolutely blown away and had to tear myself away.

I've been waiting for that game for ages and I bought the 360 in anticipation

The missus walked in from work last night with the Alan Wake Limited Edition box set

Going to try it tonight. Can't wait.

I don't think it's going to present a major challenge to any hardcore gamer but I think its a nice title to play.

The soundtrack CD vontains some really pleasant music and the documentaries on the bonus disc are interesting too.

Just in case anyone is interested Remedy have released Petri Alanko's full orchestral score on CD and you can get it from Amazon for £7.99

I still haven't finished it yet. Not had the time to play. I think I'm only on on chapter 3 !!!!
