bla bla bla, suspense, bla bla bla invstigation, bla bla bla bright falls......the magnificent graphical representation, mainly, because of the lighting engine, which offers us a visual richness never seen before

or something like it...

@huaxiong90: It's about this part:

"por el motor de iluminación que nos ofrece una riqueza visual sin parangón hasta la fecha en los títulos vistos"

It says something like:
By the lighting engine that offers rich visuals which are unparalleled in titles viewed to date.

Nice.

Alan Wake so far looks great, I think that should be enough to expect from this game. The Uncharted series IMO so far look better as well does God of War 3.

Maybe if there was no Crysis 2 this year, Alan Wake may be rewarded the best looking 360 game. But I think there will be more reviews praising Crysis 2 for graphics this year and I think the PS3 version will overall look just as good.

I expect more "best console graphics" review comments to go to Gran Turismo 5 this year. Best console graphics awards this generation I expect to go to later games such as Uncharted 3, Killzone 3 or maybe a Gran Turismo 6.

ALAN WAKE GOTY
MIND BLOWING GRAPHICS

GoW3 may look better, but it's not as technically impressive because it uses a fixed camera and you can do all sorts of extra stuff if you always know where the camera is going to be going from one moment to the next

The camera zooms in and rotates all the time in God of War 3, so it shouldn't be called a fixed camera. It does only allow a limited amount of manual camera manupulations to the user, the right analog stick is instead mapped to evading actions or for pointing instead of camera control. This of course should allow for better optimisations and director's control.

God of War 3 however is far from being technically less impressive, as for example the boss battles are amazing and unrivalled. Also the game runs in 720p with better anti-aliasing compared to Alan Wake's 540p. The assets are also of much higher quality. With regard to audio the game supports 7.1 surround audio and there are many different supported languages on the PAL disc unlike is the case with Alan Wake.

Due to the large differences in gameplay mechanics, I think the game is much better compared to the Uncharted series, which look a lot more detailed with higher quality textures and more polygons onscreen, the character reacts far more to the environement and events, etc judging on what we have seen so far.

When the heck does the embargo lift?? I thought I heard ppl saying it was May 1st, but it's now May 3rd and there are no Metacritic reviews...

Maybe so, but that still leaves Uncharted 2 (and for some even Killzone 2) to dismiss.

I thought it was May 5th
