Maybe you guys are4 talking about the poll I made yesterday? :)
Basically the same thing, with two more games thrown in the mix. I have played Alan Wake, and it is extremely awesome so far (only played a few hours). If you value storytelling, this one is really good.
Alan Wake is certainly worth a playthrough and worth picking it for cheap but you could easily get away with a rental. (Although if you're like me you'll want to own so you can go back and play through it again whenever).
I have to get both and split second as well. Expensive Tuesday for me. If you could only get one I would say Red Dead Redemption probably will give most for the buck.

" Get RDR, I already finished Alan Wake and the plot is a huge letdown. "
They say the same about RDR. "
But plot is more critical to Alan Wake than RDR. With RDR, you mainly just want to play through an open world. it's like GTA; do you really care about the story?
I'm really enjoying Alan Wake at the moment :) And I'll probably end up getting Red Dead Redemption when it's out on Friday, too. Although I might wait a bit, until after exams.

I don't... that's why it gets old on me. In GTA fleeing from the cops in the large sandbox world is fun just for a while.

At the same time, the side missions and mini games seem to be improved and better integrated into the game, so even if the story sucks, the story mission gameplay and side mission gameplay won't. edit- also, the IGN review said that the climax was amazing, but then again it's IGN. Even so, there were plenty of other things that they could focus their praise on so it must be noteworthy in some way.

Yeah, GTA has improved, but to me it gets old too fast. I don't like much the life of crime games. :p
On Alan Wake, i've reached the end today, and it is great! Much better than i'd thought. It a lovecraftian ending, much better rooted on reality than many of the novels inspired on the same ideas. And taking the mini-series approach it is much more interesting than even a Lovecraft's novel, or Stephen King's. Less dry and more imaginative.
reviews where all of them are atleast a 90 and rockstar hasnt given all publications review copies....yeah im definitely going to trust those reviews!
the game you should be basing it off is rock star san diegos last game, which is midnight club la. a game that would be an outlier on that consistent level of quality. im not going to make any judgment about a game or anything for that matter until ive been able to go through it. theres no point in making your own opinions about something based on other peoples opinions
