Remedy’s high-concept horror drama, Alan Wake, spooked its way onto the Xbox 360 back in 2010, after a protracted 5-year development cycle that included false starts, scrapped ideas and even a shift from sandbox gameplay to linear exploration. It...

Given that Alan Wake first came out on Xbox 360 in May 2010, this late-to-the-party release of the horror thriller on PC might also be called "I Know What You Played Two Summers Ago." A competent, if somewhat cliched psychological spook-fest, it's...
