look on the bright side it probably looked crap on the pc, although once microsoft have sunk their poison covered claws into a games company the only way is down into depressing sludge. There's a report somewhere else on the net which goes on about why its not a good idea to go into games partnership with microsoft. They like to take over, buy majority shares in the company so that what they say goes, have microsoft employee's employed at all levels of the game making development, so that they can control everthing, they're like some evil virus, and then when the game sells usually to xbox only they take 95% of the first years profit from the game, and in some cases 100% profit on the first five games they've agreed with the games company to make with them. And if there is a pc version then it comes with that abortion of a program xbox live.

As David so eloquently put it, belboz will never have a source other than the dogs barking in his head.

Just like i wrote (quite a while back) in the thread about Max Payne, Alan Wake does continue the tradition of over-the-top stupid dialogue and over-the-top serious tone..

Eurogamers Ellie Gibson writes;

"Personality-wise, Alan takes himself very seriously. He has one tone of voice and no sense of humour. He also suffers from some kind of narrative Tourette's, which forces him to comment on what's happening almost constantly. On seeing a flock of birds a short distance away Alan will remark, "Birds." You wonder if he goes through life like this, and walks down the street going, "Bus, tree, postman, Tesco Metro..."

Does the "it's film noir, its not supposed to be taken seriously!" argument hold for this game as well im curious... doesnt seem like something that would work that well in a horror game, imo.
