Alan Wake has a tenuous grasp on reality. The Signal is the first episode of downloadable content for the nighttime survival-horror game, and in it the troubled author is trapped in his own slowly unraveling mind. Just like in the original game, the story is inextricably tied to the gameplay, using thoughtful narration to slowly develop why the world seems to be crumbling all around you. Unfortunately, the surreal nature of the tale makes it difficult to empathize with Alan's struggles, and with only a loosely defined goal at the end, the entire episode feels oddly directionless. However, where the story falters, the gameplay shines through. The foreboding atmosphere and novel combat have been carried over unchanged, so while you may not care about why you're fighting, at least combat is fun. Despite the story's missteps, this DLC is still a worthy addendum to the main game.
CVG: Kirby looks set to make his return in a Wii game in the next 12 months as Hoshi No Kirby (Kirby Of The Stars) has appeared on Nintendo's latest release schedule.
The new schedule was released as part of Nintendo's Financial Results Briefing and Hoshi No Kirby appears alongside the Legend Of Zelda (Temp) in the list.
However, the release dates for both games are listed as TBA and neither appears in the Europe or US sections of the schedule. It's also worth pointing out that Hoshi No Kirby also appeared in last year's Financial Results Briefing.
The 90-minute DLC continues immediately after where the main game ends, offering a chance to beef up that abrupt “conclusion”
Whatever happen to Remedy? Are they still an independent developer
The Signal and The Writer don't just offer clarity they are the continuation and true ending of the game. I love that game but I'm not a fan of the practice of DLC conclusions. This game, Dead Space 3, Dead Rising 4 others I can't quite remember.
Loved this game... ms had so many great games last gen and gen before that, sadly i could only imagine what it would of been like with the 1x with sequels like this game and perfect dark, brute force, ninja Gaige now would be insane! Crimson skies, kameo...
Damn ms why you gave up on so many great franchises? I’m sure I’m missing many more games!
The two expansion packs for Remedy Entertainment's 2010 Xbox 360 thriller Alan Wake are now free. You can grab The Signal and The Writer on Xbox Live right now at no cost.
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
Did that game do well? I remember playing it at a friends and being so surprised that it doesn't have more recognition.
7/10 are you serious, I thought it was good. My score for the DLC is 8.5/10.
