Alan... Wake up.

So after being in development for a million billion years this game from the dudes who made Max Payne IS FINALLY COMING OUT on May 18th for the Xbox 360.

Alan Wake, a bestselling writer, hasn't managed to write anything in over two years. Now his wife, Alice, brings him to the idyllic small town of Bright Falls to recover his creative flow. When she vanishes without a trace, Wake finds himself trapped in a nightmare. Word by word, his latest work - a thriller he cannot even remember writing - is coming true before his eyes.

I was excited about this game two years ago and I still have hope that it can be great. Who is else is gonna be playin this shit?

    You'll have to tell me if it's good.

    Wait, who's developing Max Payne 3?

    I thought this looked pretty awesome in 2006. I still like the premise, very Stephen King.

    this game does not interest me in the slightest. I cant exactly put my finger on why, either. It just doesnt seem to appeal.
