Flat Out Broken
(

Alone in the Dark is a perfect example of a company rushing a game out the door with no regard to quality. There should be an achievement for getting past the driving missions without breaking your controller. It is as if this game actively goes out of its way to ...

I forked out a few dollars the other day and rented Alone In The Dark on 360. I hadn't read anything about it before I did and like always, that was a bad idea. The game started out pretty decent but once I realized how broken the controls were everything ...

ProsCinematic moments are great. Fire looks and spreads realistically. ConsEverything seems to be disjointed, broken, or awkward. Controls are unforgiving. Game is short with no replay value. Story is questionable with no rewarding ending. The story of Alone in the Dark tries to be overly epic, incorporating Central Park with ...

I wanted to believe. Eden Studios had created the most excellent Test Drive Unlimited, which is based upon the most brilliant concept ever. Wasn't flawlessly executed, but the concept was so ingenious it didn't really matter. Alone in the Dark had similarly ambitious ideas and I was hoping for a ...

You can’t fault Alone in the Dark for its ambition or for its production values, but for everything else it attempts to do, it does it badly; for every unique innovation it presents, it almost always, unfailing, counterbalances it with something to piss you off. Alone in the Dark ...

Alone in the Dark (AITD) for the Xbox 360 is the latest installment in the long running survival horror franchise, which began way back in 1992 on the PC. The original Alone in the Dark has often been hailed by many as the original survival horror game. So, 16 years ...

Review: Alone in the Dark
(
X360

I'm not too familiar with the Alone in the Dark series. I'm a big fan of survival horror in general, but I'm a Resident Evil kind of guy, with bouts of Fatal Frame thrown in for true pants wetting horror. It was good to hear then, that the ...

Alone in the Dark(5) was meant to be only on PS3, 360, and PC, but last year it was announce that it was coming to the Wii (and PS2), so then Wii owners can also play this game too. However of course it was a dumb down version of the ...

The newest Alone in the Dark is the fifth installment in a survival horror series that spans all the way back to the early nineties—the very one that is, in fact, credited with giving birth to the modern incarnation of the genre. Though beloved by the more ardent followers, the ...

As a newcomer to the series I had little so expect from the Alone in the Dark game and came away hopeful for a future sequel. AitD is basically a physics based horror-survival game with some neat quirks from Eden Studios. When you begin in the game you play a ...

First let me start off by saying that this might be one of the most innovative games so far this year. Sadly all the brownie points that I would give this game for being so cool are canceled out by this games god awful controls. This games controls are bad. ...

If Eden and Atari had given us absolutely no sense of what Alone In The Dark (2008) was going to be, it would have been the greatest surprise hit of 2008. These days developers are being hoist on their own petard (aka: blow'd up) by their own desire to promote ...
