It's a very fun game man, thought a little unbalanced, it's definetly worth playing.
I didn't get any bug at all while playing, so I imagine they fixed.

I really liked Alan Wake. Combat is basically the same throughout (aim flashlight, fire gun, run until your flashlight is recharged, repeat), but the story is pretty cool and the environments are just amazing. Very creepy atmosphere.
Alan Wake is the very epitome of what is wrong with modern games.
Linear, "cinematic", repetitive, popamole. I'll not give Remedy my money, and I hope they die a horrible death.

I dont know how anyone can praise Alan Wake with Silent Hill 2 doing everything better 10 years before.

Personally I've never played or really heard about the game prior to a couple of months ago. Despite the criticism it's still on my: to buy at 75% discount list. Unless one of you tells me it has no more than four or five hours of game play in which case I'll cross it off completely.
That plus those 5 hours of "gameplay" are actually not even good to begin with.
Not worth more than 1.99€ maybe, if you're willing to waste that time.

Unfortunately the survival mode for MW3 isn't in the free weekend, so... Damn. That was the main thing I was curious to look at. Cursory glance at the MP so far confirms that yup, it's a Call of Duty game's multiplayer. Even though I like CoD MP I'm not too keen on buying it yet again, even though ruskie keys can be had for $20.
I think Alan Wake is far longer.
I got quite a shock while playing it after not playing these sorts of games for a very long while. A bit like Morgoth said, it's slow, repetitive, makes you fight against very few enemies that pose no challenge at all so that it can be easily played by console gamers with a gamepad, you don't spend 20 seconds without getting a hint of some sort or being interrupted, you're always told what to do and where (and there's a radar to guide you)... this is Max Payne with a Twin Peaks coat of pain done wrong.
The story, setting and characters are indeed cool along with the atmosphere and most of the environments, but there's so much blur everywhere that you can barely see what's going on.

yes indeed, modern warfare looks very modern warfare
I doubt they will add anything significant to their game as long as it sells so amazingly while they are just pretty much copy-paste all the content.
So I completed Alan Wake PC in one sitting. Boy, I grew so tired of the repetitive fights with the same 2-3 enemies, and especially of how slow Alan is, and how impossible it is to run past enemies. The crows are the worst enemies ever, they barely damage you, they're never a treat. The last part of the game goes on and on forever. The ending makes no sense at all. Very disappointed with the game's Gears of War-like structure. Still a better game than average (worth it for the fantastic environments), but very forgettable in comparison to Max Payne.
It's shit.
I had some fun with it but it's nothing terribly special. If you want a decent shooter to spend a week-end with, go for it, but you probably won't want to replay it often, if at all.

BROS got an exta copy of the following videogames. Yell at me if you want 'em, preferably one per customer, but after telling me the main one you want mention whatever else you want in case nobody else swoops in to get it.
Xotic
Beep
The Ball
Hacker Evolution
Anomaly + Edge + Osmos bundle
Toki Tori

I wouldn't mind Xotic, but I'm not terribly picky about it so if someone else really want it, I'm happy to leave it. Else I'm also mildly interested in The Ball as well, but again I'll leave it to someone who desperately want it.

Konjad earmarked for the Ball and/or Beep, but he also said he's trying to buy the bundle himself so I'll hang on to 'em in case he can't get in.
Gragt earmarked for Xotic (If someone reeeally wants it I guess) and/or the Ball (If Konjad can get the bundle)

It'll be up for two weeks but... no surprise their servers are still crappy. For anyone that's interested in multiple games from it, remember, the minimum is only $1. I considered Xotic and Wasteland Angel during the Steam Holiday sale but said... nah... wait for a bundle! At the rate these bundles keep popping up and burning through indie games there's basically no reason to not wait for a bundle.
The page finally loaded and I bought that bundle. Give these games to someone else. Thanks for keeping them for me though
