Finally managed to sit down and play "The Signal" after much delay on my part.

Somewhat mixed about it. First of all, it is short. Perhaps a bit too short for me. Before I know it, it was over.

Then the enemies - relentless. I don't know about most players, but being swamped by enemies all around you is fine, unless you are out of ammo! And "The Signal" sees you
running out of ammo a lot more than before. Call this a challenge, but it could have been further tweaked and toned down. I have no idea how Nightmare mode is going to be!

The part where the

the frame-rate plunged until it was a slide-show for a good 2 seconds! Never has this happened before. I was like "What the...!" That scared me.

Overall it was a great episode.

Or was it?

It didn't answer questions instead added more to the mystery. Which I absolutely had hoped for after the [?] ending of Alan Wake.
What happened to Alan Wake - - more like how many more ways can Alan Wake be mysteriosuly be attacked.

OK, the good parts - love the shine your flashlight at the text moments. Love the bit where you shine on 'Boom' and then... well, boom! And of course

I thought we wouldn't see him. The bit where you would use the furnace to charcoal down your enemies was fun... lol.

It was a good episode overall . Worth playing if you did play the whole game. The next episode will cost 560 MP. Hmm... we'll see about that. The release is still "TBA".

wanna play this game badly. is someone selling?

i love this game! cant wait for episode 8!

Final DLC for Alan Wake,'The Writer' will be available October 12, 2010 for the Xbox 360 at a rate of 560 Microsoft Points.

anyone gotten the Writer episode already?

good?

the signal left me hanging there... wonder if the writer conclude everything, if yes, i might buy it, else i'm not going to buy a dlc that left the story hanging again

kotaku posted a review, said it wasn't satisfying

i dl'd it but haven't play yet, was bz wrapping up FO3 last nite lol

I got it day it was released. Alan Wake fan lol. Very short, not as satisfying as The Signal.

Spoiler maybe a lil
I got real dizzy in the scenes with the ..



Final 'Boss' fight not great either. Definitely some super scary moments, pitch black darkness in the sewer soooo scary .. most of the times I'm trying to run and get to the next checkpoint so freaked out. Some cheap shocks too with dudes jumping out of nowhere.

Does not resolve anything but it's ok that's how Alan Wake story is .. hope they continue with Alan Wake 2.

...not that great? Ouch! This is suppose to tie up the loose ends of the game. Might as well be a free download!!

If you play the game you will still have to get it. It's only 560 pts.

I will say that they did great with keeping at the creepy atmosphere. Great experience. Just not much replayability.

New Alan Wake confirmed, but it's not 'Alan Wake 2'

I did not play the last DLC... coz need to purchase... and the fact that fans were mixed about it.

that news was still rumor

they got the detail from a fella resume of remedy ex-employee that work on cinematic for "Alan Wake 2". I dont think any annoucement was made yet.

Even this is a very old game, I just started playing it and yes it scares the hell out of me! One of my favorite!
