Alan Wake is short and doesn't pack much replay value, Red Dead is long, with multiplayer and has a great replay value. Also Red Dead's critical acclaim is AAA, where Alan Wake struggles to be AA, the quality difference should be obvious.
MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising
