Remedy is known for their games about grimacing, constipated protagonists with incompetent puns for names. First, Max Payne. Now Alan Wake, or, you know, isn't that clever, A. Wake?
They are also known for their atrocious faux-Noir writing: "They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger, and it was over..." We'll let pass "exclamation mark", even though there is no such thing, because then they'd use the word "point" twice in the same sentence. But wouldn't it all be over when you squeezed the trigger, not released it? Sadly, this is probably one of the more elegant compositions in Max Payne.
However, we'll forgive Remedy all that, because ultimately the Max Payne games were pretty fun. And from a technology perspective? Alan Wake looks absolutely amazing.
