    The Thriller Continues

    I absolutely loved playing through Alan Wake and while it had is issues I was excited to continue the story. The Signal picks up where Alan Wake left off and has Alan trapped in the dark place fighting the echoes of his mind.  The first thing to state is that if you bought Alan Wake new this first DLC is free and for free anything is pretty good. The gameplay is pretty much the same as the main game although a few new twists keep it feeling fresh and it had a better sense of urgency than before. It took me a little over an hour to complete and the story it follows is perhaps one of the best parts of the overall story. All the issues from the original game still stand and the length may be a bit short if you are paying for the Add on. The Signal is a definitely worth a play and even if you miss out on it as a freebee give and you liked Alan Wake I highly recommend it.

      This was the first of the two downloadable expansions for the XBOX 360, Alan Wake. I have to say that after one hell of a rollercoaster ride with the actual game, I was pumped to continue on and see if I couldn't get to the bottom of what happened as the game ended. What I found was a sloppy addition. It wasn't bad, it was still Alan Wake, but I was left with the feeling that the expansion changed the game too much. It began to feel arcadey right off the bat, and though I wanted to play through ...
