Alan Wake to “blur the lines” between games and television

Not to rain on the space marine parade, but mature gamers are still waiting for a  title that seamlessly merges adult themes and complex characters with the rock ‘em, sock ‘em action of a Hollywood blockbuster, a feat that Remedy Entertainment claims to have achieved in their upcoming psychological thriller Alan Wake.

The Stephen King-inspired Xbox 360 exclusive, from the Finnish developers behind the Max Payne series, promises to be the next best thing to a well-crafted television thriller according to product marketing manager Laura Disney.

Alan Wake will blur the lines between video gaming and television, and play on the strengths of both to create something truly compelling,” she said. “The storyline will run as a driving factor throughout the game, creating an atmosphere that captivates the player in a way that many straight-out horror games do not.”

Personally, screen after screen of Mr. Wake crashing through the woods with a flashlight isn’t quite ratcheting up the tension like a good episode of Lost or Twin Peaks, but I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. At least until Heavy Rain comes out and I forget all about this Alan whatshisname.

    Assassin’s Creed is a strategic exemplar of what a next-generation game should seem like, with well-rendered environments that are nicely shadowed and stuffed with analyzable items. The game feels gratifying on any systems, but we did discover that the

    Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the composition on your website. But I am using Chromium on a machine running version 9.10 of Xubuntu and the design aren’t quite right. Not a serious deal, I can still essentially read the articles and explore for info, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of hard to use with the config I’m running. Keep up the superb work!

    Hi, maybe i’m being a little bit off topic here, but I was browsing your site and it looks fascinating. I’m building a blog and trying to make it look clean, but everytime I touch it I mess something up. Did you design the blog yourself? Could someone with little experience do it, and add updates without messing it up? Anyways, good information on here, very useful.
