I bloody love Alan Wake. What I love most about it are, odd as it may be, the scripted breaks. Between levels (episodes), there's an 'End of Episode' screen with a full song playing out for a couple of minutes. I simply love it. Games tend to become exhausting and repetitive and kinda stale - many good games are lessend by overplaying them in a single session. Nothing a break can't fix though. Alan Wake provides that break by design. I feel like that should be the case with every game, where such predetermined break points are easily applicable. It's just too good a structural touch for it not to become the norm.
Make it so.
