10 hour long XBLA game? I'm digging the 2.5D side-scrolling nature.

hopefully its 2 players.

But I can't believe they spent 15 minutes on Beatles rock band. I mean how much can they really show on it.

Is 15 minutes bulk?

I just can't understand how Turn 10 Studios spits out a Forza sim every 2-3 years, and we'll be lucky if we see GT5 within 5 years of GT4's release. Sometimes you just gotta say enough is enough and put out the damn game already.

The graphics don't compare but I like the story concept. I think the biggest problem is that it is Halo. People are going to be getting tired of it.

compared to the other games they've shown yeah. everything was like rushed.

Oh if the last minute addition was Ringo and Paul it was kinda lame to me.

Ahh. Remedy hinted a week or two ago that no, Alan Wake is not vaporware and that you'd be seeing an update soon. Glad to see the project alive and looking well.
