Alan Wake Video Game Xbox 360

Bringing a new style of storytelling to Xbox 360, Alan Wake is a psychological action thriller in the tradition of TV shows Twin Peaks and The X-Files. Players assume the role of Alan Wake, a best-selling suspense author suffering from writer's block, who escapes to the small town of Bright Falls only to experience the mysterious disappearance of his wife. As Wake journeys deeper into the mystery of Bright Falls, the shadows close in around him. When darkness descends, light becomes his only ally as he fights his way to daybreak. This poses a severe problem for Alan Wake since his enemies seemingly gain strength from the shadows, and before long, light itself becomes his greatest ally. Players must skillfully combine their use of light with more conventional weapons to stand a chance. The game's advanced rendering engine provides amazingly realistic environments that bring this world to detailed life - from the lush forest of evergreen trees to the quaint small-town buildings and streets.
