EmP's Alan Wake review

Wow, this is a brilliant review. It's like I wasn't quite sure how I felt about the game until I read this -- and that's always a mark of a good review: When someone already familiar with the game feels as if you've said what they wanted to say had they the wherewithal to have attempted to do so.

But I like trees... :/

Seriously though. Great review. I didn't mind the atmosphere so much as the tedious combat. The storytelling was so good and the action simply got in the way. It might've worked better as a point and click adventure game instead of a horror shooter. I tried to get through it because the story intrigued me, but I just couldn't finish it...
