Zero Punctuation: Alan Wake

"like an indecisive hitman / optician" rofl. Isn't this game from the same guys who did Max Payne, which despite the name was thoroughly enjoyable?

having gotten about half way through this game before stopping this is what I have to say: when your main character is the most likable and interesting by process of elimination you have problems. And even then he isn't beyond stupidity like with the aforementioned sleeping pill incident. The editor is annoying, the FBI agent is an uninteresting, intolerable douchebag, the kidnapper sub-plot is just killing time, and quite frankly it's not even all that scary. Looks like horror games in general have a long way to go before they can be frightening again. Maybe the worst thing this game did was try to model itself after TV. There's a difference between taking inspiration from something and then being two steps away from plagiarism.
