Alan Wake (2010 Video Game)
10/10
Fantastic mix of Horror, dark poetry, and action!

"Alan Wake" should rank high amongst the most intriguing, creepy, effective Horror video games in recent history.

I felt like I was roaming free in the "Twin Peaks" history. Plenty of references to Lynch, George A. Romero, heck, it even flirts with Stephen King, Hitchcock, Raimi, and backwoods slasher flicks from the 80's!.

The visuals are simply stunning. We get beautiful shots of mountains, lakes, cities but when things get creepy we get abandoned cabins, the woods, trailer parks, etc.

Truly one of the most creepy and interesting games out there. If you are into Horror movies you should really check it out.

The game play is really easy to dominate although it gets tedious after some hours. But the game is brief so it shouldn't be a problem.

The soundtrack is fantastic! Plenty of rock tunes mixed with orchestra and even rock radio classics.

The tension is always built when chaos breaks free. You must fight against zombies, possessed people by a dark spirit, and more.

Think about living and role playing "Twin Peaks". Sounds awesome, and it's awesome.
