Go! Gaming Giant's Alan Wake: The Writer Review

Go! Gaming Giant- "The darkness of Bright Falls just won’t leave writer and video game protagonist, Alan Wake, alone. The most recent downloadable content available for the game is titled, The Writer. For all of the fans of the Alan Wake game, prepare to be pleased because it does exactly what Remedy said it would do: bridge the gap from the first Alan Wake and take us deeper into the darkness itself and guide us toward the light of a sequel."

Bulletstorm forgoes cover system

CVG: Epic Games' most famous franchise, Gears Of War, may be hugely reliant on its cover system - but they'll be no such mechanic in its new shooter Bulletstorm

As previously reported on CVG, it has an admirably ridiculous story - with a drunken space-based rivalry at its heart

However, those expecting a Gears-style cover-shoot-cover-shoot effort can think again

I hav 2 admit, BulletStorms lookin SWEET!!! Epic hurry up and show sum gameplay - STAT

Christopher5103d ago

Not sure this is good for me. I much prefer a shooter with a good cover system over your typical stand around and shoot system.

We'll see, I guess.

NRG5103d ago

Good. Last thing I want is Painkiller meets Gears of War.

Gestalt5099d ago

Excellent. Then we won't have to worry about taking cover, just shooting things up.

Just as the game's name intended.

These are standalone right? We don't need Alan wake for them?

Gazondaily2939d ago

Yeah I wonder if this is the case too. If so, that's amazing.

spicelicka2939d ago

I think they do require Alan wake. On the Xbox site it says "This add-on works with Alan wake".

American nightmare is the only one that's independent.

TheCommentator2939d ago

You are correct, Spicelicka, both free episodes are add ons to Alan Wake. American Nightmare is the only stand alone. Interesting thing I noticed while looking the content up though... There's a 6 episode, live action prequel called Bright Falls on the marketplace I didn't know they made. I'm thinking about ckecking it out but I want to read into it a bit more.

crazychris41242939d ago

Just picked up Alan Wake yesterday, I have perfect timing

ghostface92939d ago

Cool does anyone know when they will send codes out for those who preordered quantum break I still havent got mine and want to play american nightmare after I am done with it. Quantum break has been great so far

illtownNJONE2939d ago

american nightmare took 2weeks after I preorderd QB and Alan Wake is 7-10 days after release of QB

EazyC2939d ago

Did that game do well? I remember playing it at a friends and being so surprised that it doesn't have more recognition.

Worthplaying: Alan Wake - The Writer Review

Telling the story of a writer plagued by his own demons, Alan Wake delivered both an enticing story and an innovative gameplay mechanic: the use of light as a weapon. The main game followed Wake's quest to rescue his wife from the darkness, while the first DLC episode, The Signal, chronicled Wake's battle for his own sanity. The second installment, The Writer, expands on the events seen in The Signal, all the while keeping the experience fresh and the story moving forward.
