When the reviews start to pile in for this game and it gets the 7's, 8's and maybe a a few 9's sprinkled in all of thse people proclaiming alan wake to be the 360 savior will perish into obscurity.


The 360 doesnt need a savior. That would imply it needs saving. It has alot of great games. And while I agree that reviewers will be very hard on the gameplay. It will end up around the score of Heavy Rain. Of course I'm hoping for 90+ though.

I think it will have better reviews than HR since a lot of reviewers just did not like the gameplay, but Alan Wake should be more easy to like, and the 360 exclusives get better scores anyway.


Maybe thats because the reviewers feel they deserve better scores?

Pretty much cause every game is a bloody FPS? lol

Alan wake is probably the only game that diverse itself from other games in a while

PS3 library has more variety

Oh wow, really .. we're back to that again. I though Squalliam or whoever proved Sony has more shooters this gen (in their top 10/20)...

Forza / GT

Alan Wake / Heavy Rain?

Viva Pinata/Banjo/Rare / Ratchet/LBP

Natal / Move

Splinter Cell / MGS

Gears / ?

GOW / ?

Resistance/Killzone / Halo/Left 4 Dead


Don't make out the Xbox is just a shooterbox, that argument is lame.

Yeah it makes complete sense.  It makes it a no-win situation for 360 games.  If they get 90+ then obviously it can be argued that the game reviewers are in Microsoft's pocket to put doubt on how deserved the score is.  If the score is less than that then nobody will claim the reviewers are in Microsoft's pocket since it won't fit the score and we'll just cut to the people saying the game was overrated.  And it'll happen all over again with the next 360 exclusive.

I agree with you somewhat, both MS and Sony havent made that many FPS, it's third party developers that have unloaded most of these shooters on us.
