The Writer a must-play for anybody that downloaded The Signal as it wraps up the mini-story arc. In total, the two add-ons offer a great addendum to the main game, turning the final punctuation from a question mark to a period. Though The Writer may be a bit short for its 560 Microsoft point price tag, the playful level design and dialogue makes it a winner.
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
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.
Excellent. Then we won't have to worry about taking cover, just shooting things up.
Just as the game's name intended.
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.
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.
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.
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
american nightmare took 2weeks after I preorderd QB and Alan Wake is 7-10 days after release of QB
Did that game do well? I remember playing it at a friends and being so surprised that it doesn't have more recognition.
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.
Played it finished it, ending gives me hopes that there will be a sequel :D
this game is so amazing and deep, i hope it get a sequel
this game was simply fantastic. It is easily a GOTY contender. I truly hope that Remedy gets the credit they deserve. It is a pitty that so many poeple hate on this amazing game just because it is a 360 exclusive.
and the irony is that all these sony frangirls always complain that 360 fans just talk about sales and not games ("I play games not sales" and other similarly idiotic comments) yet when Alan Wake did not sell millions these same tin foil hat wearing extremist haters only talked about the allged poor sales it got. Lolz
I'll be getting this DLC tonight! cant wait!!!!!
I'm a multiconsole user and I was thoroughly disappointed of the game. I had much hope for it but after 5 years of development and it let me down.
Here are it's problems:
1. Lack of setting (the forests look awesome but there is NOTHING but forests in the game)
2. Fighting the SAME enemies over and over again
3. Very few weapons
4. Archaic game and combat design
Yes the story was interesting and I think cliff hangers are a good thing in a game but the gameplay is a slap in the face.
