So, what we have so far :

GamePRO - 8.7/10

Eurogamer - 7/10

Can't seem to find these.

GamePRO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N80fmH2ZvZY

Eurogamer - http://www.eurogamer.net/game/alan-wake-xbox360

The Eurogamer one doesn't open the review.

They were not supposed to post it right now I guess.

I thought this was going to get 94%+ according to selnor ?

inb4 meltdown.

Game should be fun though, I hope they release it for pc.



Looking good so far, apart from another odd looking Eurogamer score.

Oh well, this time tomorrow we should have a hefty set of reviews to compare it to.

What time's the Embargo lift?

6 hours 23 minutes to my knowledge.



 

7/10 from Eurogamer? Yes! Generic shooter without a good story confirmed!



Around the Network

Just a thought about "official review threads". Given Game Rankings supports VGC as a website by including VGC reviews on their site, shouldn't we as a community support Game Rankings by making official review threads based on them rather than Metacritic?

You know, a bit of quid pro quo.

Decent start for AW. I should think 90-94 is the meta score range we'll see it finish in.

Eurogamer gave it a 7/10 score....

Sadly it was reviewed by Ellie Gibson. The resident girl reviewer. Now there is nothing wrong with being a girl reviewer. This one on the other hand is the resident casual gamer who normally reviews niche titles. She gave Take That Singstar an 8 score, has give lot's of shovelware titles on the Wii an 8 or 9 score where they have bombed everywhere else.
The fact a casual gamer with no history of reviewing big titles has reviewed it is a massive mistake by Eurogamer. I normally trust their reviews. But letting someone who normally reviews something like Jumbo Jex or whatever it is called and gave it an 8 should not be anywhere near this game. It is like asking my gf who is a sims nut to review Red Dead Redemption when she has never played a Rockstar shooter or any action game before...



^^^ we've to see her point of view....but 7/10 is the lowest so far, and it's pretty weird =/

This will surely score into the 90's in total. Can't wait to play it myself!
