Daily Joystick Review: Alan Wake The Writer

Boosty from Dailyjoystick writes; "Alan Wake The Writer is the second and most likely final piece of DLC for the title. The Writer takes place after The Signal which was the first piece of DLC for Alan Wake. The Writer runs a very fair 560 points price tag and is available now. The Writer follows in the footsteps of the original game and aims to help answer those many questions about the game and its story."

Bulletstorm forgoes cover system

CVG: Epic Games' most famous franchise, Gears Of War, may be hugely reliant on its cover system - but they'll be no such mechanic in its new shooter Bulletstorm

As previously reported on CVG, it has an admirably ridiculous story - with a drunken space-based rivalry at its heart

However, those expecting a Gears-style cover-shoot-cover-shoot effort can think again

I hav 2 admit, BulletStorms lookin SWEET!!! Epic hurry up and show sum gameplay - STAT

Christopher5127d ago

Not sure this is good for me. I much prefer a shooter with a good cover system over your typical stand around and shoot system.

We'll see, I guess.

NRG5127d ago

Good. Last thing I want is Painkiller meets Gears of War.

Gestalt5124d ago

Excellent. Then we won't have to worry about taking cover, just shooting things up.

Just as the game's name intended.

These are standalone right? We don't need Alan wake for them?

Gazondaily2964d ago

Yeah I wonder if this is the case too. If so, that's amazing.

spicelicka2964d ago

I think they do require Alan wake. On the Xbox site it says "This add-on works with Alan wake".

American nightmare is the only one that's independent.

TheCommentator2964d ago

You are correct, Spicelicka, both free episodes are add ons to Alan Wake. American Nightmare is the only stand alone. Interesting thing I noticed while looking the content up though... There's a 6 episode, live action prequel called Bright Falls on the marketplace I didn't know they made. I'm thinking about ckecking it out but I want to read into it a bit more.

crazychris41242964d ago

Just picked up Alan Wake yesterday, I have perfect timing

ghostface92964d ago

Cool does anyone know when they will send codes out for those who preordered quantum break I still havent got mine and want to play american nightmare after I am done with it. Quantum break has been great so far

illtownNJONE2964d ago

american nightmare took 2weeks after I preorderd QB and Alan Wake is 7-10 days after release of QB

EazyC2964d ago

Did that game do well? I remember playing it at a friends and being so surprised that it doesn't have more recognition.

Worthplaying: Alan Wake - The Writer Review

Telling the story of a writer plagued by his own demons, Alan Wake delivered both an enticing story and an innovative gameplay mechanic: the use of light as a weapon. The main game followed Wake's quest to rescue his wife from the darkness, while the first DLC episode, The Signal, chronicled Wake's battle for his own sanity. The second installment, The Writer, expands on the events seen in The Signal, all the while keeping the experience fresh and the story moving forward.
