“Alan Wake” is a psychological thriller / horror that reminds me a bit of the old “Silent Hill” games for the Playstation. As you may have guessed, you take control of a successful thriller writer named Alan Wake who is on vacation with his wife Alice. Like most games of this genre, things appear fairly normal from the start, save for a nightmare Alan has that educates the player on the gameplay mechanics. Unlike “Silent Hill” and “Resident Evil”, the game makes use of an ingenious lighting mechanic that ties in with the main story of the game. Oh, and thermoses…lots and lots of thermoses. I don’t know why there are so many thermoses lying around, but my eBay account is going to be busy tonight.
