Alan Wake (Gameplay #2) - Home is Where The Heart Is [Stereoscopic 3D]
1As with the Xbox release preceeding it, Alan Wake on PC suffers from shallow gameplay and a repetitively linear structure which ultimately lacks both ambition and originality, but the experience of playing the game can nonetheless be quite satisfying and immersive due to Remedy's knack for creating atmospheric, realistic-looking environments and evoking a genuine sense of place (the latter being a far trickier, more artistic achievement than the former). This is especially true of the believably dull little town of Bright Falls and its scenic surroundings where most of the game takes place, but the early flashback to Wake's everyday life in New York featured in this video is likewise quite good (...and not entirely lacking a certain Max Payne-esque vibe).
