Alan Wake is a psychological thriller action-adventure video game developed by the Finnish Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Game Studios that was released in Europe on May 14, 2010 and in North America on May 18, 2010 exclusively for Xbox 360. The plot follows suspense-thriller writer Alan Wake in uncovering the mystery behind the disappearance of his wife while on vacation in idyllic small-town Bright Falls, and having to deal with blackouts and visions of characters and ideas from his latest novel, which he can't remember writing, coming to life. The game's first add-on episode, titled "The Signal", will be released July 27, 2010, on Xbox Live. The second episode, titled "The Writer", was revealed by Remedy through the in-game downloadable content menu, the episode is priced at 800 MP with release date listed as TBA. Developer Oskari Hakkinen has announced that there will be multiple downloadable episodes in 2010, bridging the gap between the game's ending, and a possible sequel.

GameSpot 7.0            

The story in Alan Wake's first downloadable episode lacks a purpose, but exciting combat and a moody atmosphere make this a good addition.

Dante's Inferno is an upcoming third-person action-adventure game to be published by Electronic Arts and in development by Visceral Games (formerly EA Redwood Shores). The game is very loosely based on Inferno, the first book of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. The story of the game is written by Will Rokos, who wrote the film Monster's Ball. The game was produced by Justin Lambros and assistant produced by Zach Mumbach. The game has been touted as being very similar to the God of War games, in which there are light and heavy attacks as well as magic. Dante's primary weapon is a scythe, which he steals from Death, as seen in the opening preview of the game. He also has magical powers such as a holy cross (given to him by Beatrice before her death) which fires a burst of light that destroys anything in its path.

That Dante's Inferno is almost proudly derivative of Sony's God of War series isn't inherently a bad thing, but its lack of unique accomplishments makes for a hollow experience.
