Alan Wake ?

I've been keeping an eye on Alan Wake for some time, and it does look a bit interesting.
But what got me real excited is the "Bright Falls" episodes that were done as sort of a Prequel story to Alan Wake, & I guess to help generate interest for the game.
I have to say it is working. They are real actors doing parts, and they are done very well. There is a total of 6 episodes, each lasting roughly 7 minutes, but they do pack a lot. I watched them on youtube, but I'll try to find another link in case anyone is curious. They are done real well.

Here is a site that links you to all 6 episodes. Just scroll down to where it says "all 6 episodes availabe on-line" & beneath that you can select each one individually.
Granted, they will probably only appeal to those of you who enjoy suspense.

I'd be all over this one, but since it won't be out for PC i suddenly lost all interest in it. And there they promised it would make use of multi-core CPU's and so on.

Originally developed for quad core 64bit Systems with 4gigs of ram and an SLI config. This was the target specs until the devs decided to get skinned knees in Microsoft corporate offices and sold out.
