Alan Wake

Insomniac writer Alan Wake travels to the town of Bright Falls where darkness reigns and psychological horror ensues. Wake's nightmares leap to life and the horror author must battle his demons while trying to stay within the protective radius of nearby light sources. Using a flashlight and handgun to identify and damage the otherworldly creatures, Wake must explore Bright Falls and piece together its deepest mysteries. Oft-delayed, Wake was celebrated as one of the best and most exciting games at the Electronic Entertainment Expo...in 2005. The Max Payne guys are behind this one, though, so we're willing to wait it out.
