Nice review, Gary. And right on the money. God knows that after beating this game, I had zero inclination to play it again. Because of all the bloody trees. A tedious game with so much promise.

I don't have to prove I'm refined - that's what makes me refined!

Thanks, Marc. If Remedy had more of an effort to mix things up, Wake really could have been a stand out game. I have high hopes for the next one.

For us. For them. For you.

Nice review. It's a shame the game was so disappointing. After reading Suskie's review, it sounded really cool, but this sort of knocks down the enthusiasm I had for it somewhat. Like, if I were to notice, as you have done, I'd get pretty bored of the same thing over and over as well. And the same enemies, too? Ehhh.... Well, I dunno. I may still check this game out in 50 years when I actually get a new console, but for now? Perhaps not. Good job with this.

MINOR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS: (because it's obligatory)

You learn to use a torch as your primary defensive mechanism, shining it in the face of the shadow-cloaked monster that assault you

Either "monsters... assault" or "monster...assaults".

Until night descends Alice is driven through the wall of their rented cabin into the inky blackness of the lake that surrounds it.

Insert "and" between there.

"Program", or spell it your cooky British way. Also, "includes".

Bleh -- thanks for the catches. I was pretty sure I'd caught all of them this time!
