Xbox GOD delivers Alan Wake News • News • Xbox 360 • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

Remedy for a cold evening.

Scary game about a writer gone mad, Alan Wake, is now available to download from Xbox Live Games on Demand. It was only released earlier this year.

All titles on the Games on Demand service cost Ł20 or 2400 Microsoft Points in made-up wonga.

Alan Wake takes up 6.3GB of hard drive space and that represents just the base experience - all DLC will need buying separately.

Alan Wake was released in May. Ellie Gibson sharpened her quill for it for Eurogamer.

The first 10 minutes of Alan Wake.

Read the article ffs! Ł20.

Cheaper at other places and you never know, a GOTY version sooner or later.

Costs a tenner most places and definitely worth a play through. A little short but the experience is definitely worth it

Might want to fix the article guys. A lot of games on the service are actually Ł14.99. One game I've seen is Ł29.99 so the prices aren't all the same.

The disc version has the code for the first DLC thrown in for free. I am guessing thats lacking from this version?

They have COD4 on there for Ł29.99, they must be worried if it was cheaper people wouldn't bother with the more recent CODs

I sold this after I first went through it but bought it again the other week to try the add ons. I got it on a 2 for Ł25 at PLAY with Mass effect 2.

However garbled the original review itself may have been, I think I'd have to agree with the final score.

I enjoyed Alan Wake at first, but somehow, I started finding it a bit of a chore and the DLC was pretty bad too, in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure Major Nelson said it would be on GOD next Tuesday. Maybe the stories should be checked before being published

It's not there yet

Both me and my girlfriend LOVED this game. It is a little repetative, and not without it's problems, but the game was far more than the some of it's parts. The atmos and story were both cracking examples of how it should be done.

A little pricey, but if you can pick the game up elsewhere I highly recommend it. Ignore the Eurogamer review; Alan Wake is a great game. The gameplay is fun (although driving controls suck), the story is fantastic, the music is suitably ambient and the atmosphere is really quite tense. There are some genuinely scary moments.

I pray to the Xbox GOD every night that my age old 360 won't have to experience the dreaded RROD again.

A game you have to experience once, just not at this price. The atmosphere and storytelling was marvelous, too bad the gameplay was a boring grind. Game made the classic mistake of introducing all the novel gameplay elements in the beginning, so that the ensuing ten hours was just rinse and repeat.

As said above, COD4 and Batman AA are both Ł30 via GOD. At least ten games are Ł15, and one game is Ł17.

Praying does nothing, the Xbox GOD expects sacrifices.

Better to spend the Ł20 on booze, get wasted and while away the cold night making wanking bear noises.
