yes the question is as in the title please vote:):)

I bought Alan Wake and its Fantastic,but alot of my friends went for Red Dead because they couldnt afford both games in a month.i think its just bad timing.

I doubt the score is whats holding it back from getting attention.......cough*red dead*.

Sorry but It is an AAA title ! The story/screenplay is awesome, the mood is fabulous, the gameplay is cool. It's clearly a must-have ! One of the best games on Xbox 360. And one of the best games of the 5 (even 10) past years...

It's sad that gamers prefer to buy Red dead Redemption which is a "GTA skin" with less hours (about 20h to finish it with 100%)....Alan Wake is a different experience. It's not an action game, it's not a umpteenth FPS-TPS game...

The game is phenominal. If your a thriller/horror fan at all. It's the best we have had yet.
Remedy have created a masterpiece here. It's my number 1 game this gen. I cant get enough. Roll on June 27 for Episode 7!.

what is an AAA game?

Metacritic above 90.

That's not true at all, that hardly has anything to do about it.

The game is in fact a AAA a title and to top it off, it is amazing. For a game to considerd to be a AAA title, it is just a game with a very high budget. Basing AAA with an the average of a site that doesn't include a lot of the reviews and/or the same review scores for different version consoles is extremely dumb.

i bought it day 1
ant the game is simply amazing
one of the best this gen
period.

They should have released a very short demo ala Splinter Cell to get more attention on the market place, since what, 50% of 360 owners own XBox Live Gold? I wish it got a 90+ meta but to me It's up there and thats all that matters to me.
