i have to say, im not really unnerved by games and such but the condemned is one of the few games that really messed with my head. it didnt help that i had the lights off and it was dark though. the main freak out points where towards the end in the run down house and then outside afterwards. that was pretty freaky. The only other game that's atmosphere freaked me out was the baby crying part in Max Payne. Sent chills down my spine man

That film absolutely stunned me in it's cringe worthy value. I mean from the very opening scene, I was like WTF WTF! And then from then, it just got worse......what was worse is that the guy who owned that movie was like bragging about how good a movie it was....i never saw him in the same light after that

Exactly and with things like The Ghostbusters game coming next year as well as the X-Box 360 version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein PLUS things like Gears of War 2 on it's way and Fifa 09, its going to have to be pretty impressive. Then there are things like Asassain's creed 2 coming out which i personally am really excited about

Regarding the gameplay As I really enjoyed both Max Payne and Love GTA, im all for the whole free roaming thing. Im hoping that the game will be a decent length but because its a thriller with a single angle, it obviously wont be to the same length of something like GTA but as they're focusing a lot of their energy on the story as opposed to multiplayer aspects too, then id hope that it would be a decent length and lacking in glitches, especially the amount of time on it. Plus, generally, im a fan of atmospheric games - The condemned had an awesome atmosphere to it for example.

FFS I was considering pre-ordering it on some of the game websites over here in the UK. Play.com announce it for November Still. I remember back in March I think when it was like being advertised as two weeks after the release of Lost the video game and I waited until the week before to pre-order but as soon as that week hit, boom it was october, then november.....now February. Hasn't it been in expected for like 2 years now?

Hey, so I was wondering how much knows about Alan Wake. I've been waiting for this game to come out for almost a year now and it's something that even after all this time has still been grabbing my attention. I dont know how much you guys know about it so I will share what I know. The Story: Alan Wake is a bestselling horror writer. Early on in his career, his fiancée Alice was his muse. Just prior to meeting her, he had started to have strange dreams which he used as material for his first book. The book was a big success, a dream come true. But then Wake’s fiancée vanished without a trace. Wake was devastated. He couldn't write anymore, his dreams stopped and he began to suffer from insomnia. At the beginning of the game, Wake travels to a sleep clinic to seek treatment for his condition. The secluded clinic is located near the small town of Bright Falls, Washington, far away from the stressful urban lifestyle. Receiving treatment at the clinic, Wake is able to sleep again. At the clinic, he meets a mysterious woman who is the very image of his missing fiancée, uncannily so. At once, his dreams return, this time as terrible nightmares. Wake begins to write again: a new book based on those nightmares. But something is horribly, horribly wrong. Impossibly, the town of Bright Falls starts to change to something awful that bears a close resemblance to Wake’s new book. Wake ends up fighting for his life with a gun and a flashlight in his hands, trying to understand what’s happening. Its supposed to be a free roam city that is similar in essence to that of GTA Trailer: I know it's due for release on Due for release on 28/11/2008 on X-Box 360 and I presume that this is the same release date as PC. As far as I know, it's not available on PS3 as it's made by Microsoft. From all the trailers i've seen it looks great and resembles something of a Stephen King book which I am a huge fan. I really can't wait for this game to come out but with all the delays, im still sceptical of it's release. Anywho if you know anything about the game, would be awesome to share it.

To be quite honest with you, if I had seen the remake before I saw the original, I may have been more gripped by it. But as I saw the original Romero movie first, when I saw the remake, it was just more of the same so it didnt really make that much of an impression on me. The general premise of being locked up in a house with zombies attacking you in the middle of nowhere is great but it's too much of the same really the remake - especially considering it was after day of the dead had been made (i think thats correct). So while i'd say its decent, it certainly didnt impress me as much as the remake of Dawn of the Dead did but it's certainly not awful. Im actually looking forward to seeing the remake of Land of the Dead actually......
