Zero Punctuation: Alan Wake

It isn't. Yahtzee is genuinely the first person (that I bother paying attention to) to have voiced a negative opinion, and since he does exactly that for a living, I'd recommend giving it a rent over the weekend. You can beat it in two days with some effort, and at worst you've lost $8-$10.Blue-State said:
Indeed. It takes more than referencing Stephen King to make an awesome game. Plus, the way they go about it isn't even a good way to do it. Me, I wrote a story and I gave the bad guy a name that had the initials "RF." That's how you pay homage to great writers.Amata said:Lol yeah, not that many of his books are about that. Quite a few of them are set in the same small town, but yeah, still. Plus the Dark Tower series is awesome.
A very good review though, even if we disagree on the quality of Stephen King's books.
This is the game everyone has been clamoring about as the Game of the year?
HAHAHAHAHAH.
Oh man, funny stuff. From the review, it's basically Stephen King meets Resident Evil meets Scooby Doo. And not in any good order.
Kinda disappointing like Heavy Rain. :/

A dog guiltily shitting in a hat? I would pay well over the average price to see that in a game.
I think at this stage stephen king just wants to have his name on everything. I'm a fan of King but i think he's overdone it.
Is it a JRPG, perhaps? Because he's made it quite clear that he hates those. And Nintendo. So when he reviews Mario Galaxy 2 (correction, IF he reviews it, or any other game down the line, be it Zelda or Metroid) take it with a massive grain of salt.Hardcore_gamer said:
He has stated a number of times, the last I remember in the Brütal Legend video, that he does indeed not play such games. I suspect it is related to his emphasis on console games over PC games.Hardcore_gamer said:
Edit: Or that he plays them but seldom enjoys them.
Funny review but I love the game. The combat is great if you play in hard dificulty. If you use the flashlight on several enemies at the same time, you'll never end, but if you concentrate on one of them, the rest will run for you, so it's not "look at the enemy and shoot twice".
Also, I love the characters (including Barry), the soundtrack the original and the song selection (specially the last one), the TV and radio shows, and of course, the ilumination (probably the best ever).

The game is boring as shit, but this review isn't any better. It's like you forgot to read what you wrote in the notepad before puking out the words to the microphone.
