[PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs! 254: Alan Wake (Premium)

Watch Out for Fireballs!

Alan Wake is a writer, and he reminds you of that a lot. This is Remedy's third person shooter followup to the first two Max Payne games. It dabbles in horror without being terribly scary, and gets extremely metatextual at a time when that wasn't a huge thing in games. It worked at the time, and would probably work on a first playthrough, but we struggle to see through the game's unfortunate design flaws.

Thanks to Vulpes for producing this episode!
