Alan Wake Gaming
This is the brand new game from Remedy, (makers of Max Payne), on the next gen systems- (XboX 360, PS 3). I wasn't going to buy a 360, but with this game and Splinter Cell 4 in the making I think I might have too.
The trailer video is simply breathtakingly cool.
Alan Wake represents everything that's exciting about the future of video games. It's dynamic, player-controlled storytelling being told in a way that has never been done before. It was a profoundly original experience that evoked an emotional response in this viewer, and that's a place that video games need to visit more often if they are to dominate art and entertainment in the 21st Century. The entire thing simply oozes style and tension, and I was on the edge of my seat during a scene they showed where Alan was racing in his car toward a lighthouse as the sun was setting, and darkness fell around him. - Infuze Magazine
If this is the way computer games are heading, I think film makers better have some good tricks up their sleeves... Honestly I mean it. Check out the Alan Wake website for screenshots and video.
