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.

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.

Darksiders is an action-adventure video game developed by Vigil Games and published by THQ. The game takes its inspiration from the apocalypse and battle of Armageddon described in the Book of Revelation, with the player taking the role of "War", one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Darksiders is primarily a combat action game, with weapons such as giant swords and miniguns available. War also regains his powers throughout the game, and has his own mount, a horse called Ruin. Action takes place both underground where puzzles play a large role, and above ground in which free roaming is allowed.

GiantBomb 8.0            

Darksiders pulls together concepts from a ton of different games, but the way it pieces these things together manages to feel exciting.

It may draw a little too much inspiration from its peers, but Darksiders is still a bloody good time.

GameSpot 8.0            

An uproariously fun and enjoyable post-Apocalyptic adventure that is a little too familiar at times.
