Wii - Alone in the Dark - Alone In The Dark Control Work Around

That Gaming Site Writes: "Since it's release Alone in the Dark has received some pretty harsh criticism regarding the control scheme. Even we here at That Gaming Site admit the controls could use some work! Atari has taunted us with a patch that may never make it to the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game! Instead of waiting for the day that may never come we have found a way to make your experience with the controls a little more tolerable!"

Atari Actually Posts a Profit in Q1

Wii - Alone in the Dark - Atari Actually Posts a Profit in Q1

Gamedaily.biz writes: "Break out the champagne. After endless losses, Atari has posted a net income of $3.5 million for its first quarter. The release of Alone in the Dark was a big factor.

A couple weeks ago French publisher Infogrames reported its own first quarter fiscal results, revealing a 91 percent rise in sales, which was driven in large part by a "strong recovery" of the U.S. business (i.e. Infogrames' subsidiary Atari). Today, Atari announced its own fiscal results, and Infogrames wasn't kidding: Atari posted a profit of $3.5 million for the quarter, a vast improvement from the net loss of $11.9 million during the same period last year."

Wii - Alone in the Dark - Atari: Positive Alone in the Dark reviews keep coming

Videogamer writes: "Atari has revealed it wants more from its major summer release, Alone in the Dark, despite the title placing at No.1 in the Xbox 360 chart and at No.3 in the All Formats chart.

"The positive review scores continue to come in and marketing support is scheduled to run through to the end of August," Atari product manager Ben Walker told MCV. "Our target now is to build upon the start and keep Alone in the Dark selling through-out the summer"

We found Alone in the Dark to be one of the most disappointing games of the year so far, scoring only 6/10 despite much early promise and plenty of good ideas"

German Gaming Site Claims Atari Pulled Ads & Filed Wrongful Suit Against Them

Wii - Alone in the Dark - German Gaming Site Claims Atari Pulled Ads & Filed Wrongful Suit Against Them

Ripten's Chad Lakkis writes:

"The past few weeks of videogame publisher drama have been for the most part dedicated to the dispute between Tecmo and their former Rockstar/Director Tomonobu Itagaki, however Tecmo will need to move over and make room for another old school publisher.

German videogame site 4players.de claims to be involved in apparent legal battle with Atari stemming from the sites review of "Alone in the Dark", a multiplatform horror/action game published by Atari in June of 2008.

Keeping in mind that the original article is in German, and it is well beyond the "normal" business hours we would utilize to obtain a comment from Atari, we were able to loosely interpret the following information from the public complaint aired on the German gaming site:"

Wii - Alone in the Dark - Alone In The Dark Goes Gold: Title Ships 3 July in Australia & New Zealand

XboxOZ360 writes:

Atari today announced that development is complete on the highly anticipated action survival game Alone in the Dark, and the game is on track to ship 3 July in Australia and New Zealand for Xbox 360TM game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PC, Wii and PlayStation® 2. The PLAYSTATION®3 version is scheduled for spring 2008.

Developed by Eden Games, Alone in the Dark for Xbox 360 and PC aims to change what gamers expect from action games with a ground-breaking reinvention of the classic franchise which debuted in 1992 and created the survival horror genre. Continuing the legacy of innovation of that first game, the new Alone in the Dark re-imagines the genre with engrossing cinematic presentation, compelling gameplay challenges and a thrilling narrative story arc..."

'Alone in the Dark' Wii Loses Fancy Tech And Open World, Adds Motion Controls - Is That Enough?

Wii News from N4G | Alone in the Dark

Wii - Alone in the Dark - 'Alone in the Dark' Wii Loses Fancy Tech And Open World, Adds Motion Controls - Is That Enough?

MTV Multiplayer writes: "Publishers have largely moved away from adapted versions of their high-tech games for Wii, but they still happen, such as this month's "Alone in the Dark."

"Alone in the Dark" doesn't feel much like a game designed for Wii. That's probably because it isn't.

But for Wii-exclusive owners in search of survival horror before Tecmo delivers "Fatal Frame," "Alone in the Dark" is their best bet. In that respect, how does it hold up?

It's hit or miss. Much of the visual fidelity and large set pieces that made "Alone in the Dark" impressive enough to keep my eyes shut during a spoiler aren't found in the Wii version. These environmental edits mean there are actual story differences between the Wii version and the one arriving on Xbox 360, PC and PS3. New levels were constructed to follow the basic story of 'Alone in the Dark.'"
