I liked them pretty equally, I thought Alan Wake had a better plot, but Heavy Rain had a much better execution of it's own plot. The biggest divider is that Heavy Rain kept on moving, it never repeated itself and it just kept throwing you into those thoughtful or tense situations, Alan Wake was far to repetitive and running around a forest (that looks all the same) and shooting the same enemies over and over again takes away from it's atmosphere and pacing. I found Heavy Rain to be a scarier game.
I vote for Heavy Rain, though I'm sure if an improved Alan Wake 2 came out then my vote would easily go towards the sequel.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
