Worry about what goes bump in the day

Feb 9, 2007

Its almost as if the Xbox 360 is showing off. Winking its little ring of light at you. Exploding some particle effect fireworks right in your face just because it can.

Taking cues from David Lynch movies, this psychological ... » Read Full Alan Wake preview
