[360] Alan Wake - Still awake

Finished it last night on normal. I'm considering buying it, but I was sorta disappointed in the ending.
The only reason to buy it would be to play the dlc as I'm not sure I would replay the story mode.

Overall a really great game.

I've been playing this game this week and I just started Episode 5.

It has given the most scares/creeps/goose bumps since Resident Evil Code Veronica. I love the night time sections and I'm finding the story and more importantly how it is being told very enjoyable. I was just telling the wife last night, that if they had added random wildlife (besides birds) like rabbits, deer, wolves, etc it could have been way more scarier/intense.

It is definitely my game of the first half of this year. For reference, other really great games I played this year include Uncharted 1 & 2, GOW III, and SSFIV. My only knock against it, maybe that it will probably be too short. I am playing through with a friend's copy, but plan to buy it new just to get into the dlc Episodes.

Would've absolutely bought it, but a friend lent it to me for a week. Other than the dlc, I can't see too much replay value in this game.

I may buy it used and then buy the dlc to support the developers. I just can't see paying full price for the game since I've probably seen >75% of what it has to offer.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I'm on my second "find all the collectibles" playthrough and I like it even more this time, maybe it's that I got used/better with the combat or noticing things about the story that I haven't the first time...even with all it's technical problems I love this game though tearing can still be very annoying at times. :p
 
Judging by that quicklook, the AW-dlc basically represents everything I did not particularly enjoy about the game, namely combat, combat and then some more combat ... and still nothing resembling some kind of satisfying closure

Picked it up last night. Only played a little bit, but the DLC seems good with quality on par the retail game. Combat is definitely cranked up a notch, which is good or bad depending on how you felt about the combat in that game. Not sure when I'll get a chance to finish it.
 
I already redeemed that one, but there should be a second one that comes in the e-mail?
