The survival horror genre has had its share of ups and downs. Dead Space is one of those amazing milestones that will always creep up on me in the middle of the night, reminding me what a coward I am for not finishing it, because it was far too creepy and intense.

Fast forward to today, and I find myself religiously following the development of Alan Wake, stalking Remedy's Oskari Hakkinen any chance I get for the smallest glimpse of what's to come.

Dare I say, after experiencing a whole chapter in Alan Wake at X10, I have learned of a new fear. Will I be too chicken to finish Alan Wake? Eh, I'll take the shrieking sounds of the Necromorphs in the darkest corners of the galaxy over having to man up to Mr. Wake's shadowy foes.

I love your videos R3Y :) Alan Wake isn't my kind of stuff, but keep going with the reports.

Even though MS said Alan Wake is not coming to PC, Amazon is offering a $10 credit for those who purchase Alan Wake for PC... it even has its own PC cover

AriesWarlock: No, It could just mean they haven't removed it yet.

Well, if that's the case, I'll be over it. Of course, it won't be too hard to be more intense than Dead Space. OHYEAHIWENTTHERE.

Dead Space wasn't scary in the slightest. Seriously, wasn't scary in the slightest. The only threats were wholly physical, and the devs gave you more ammunition than you'd ever need.

If you want a legitimately scary game, look at Silent Hill 2.

Alan Wake better than Dead Space ? Seeing is believing when it comes to hyping a game.

Stoaked. :] Dead Space wasn't half as scary as I hoped [though still creepy]. If it can make me want to cry like Fatal Frame does, the wait will officially be worth it. :]

Love your interview videos R3y. Now if only your other stuff was more like that and less in the "Spike TV/Maxim" style.

I'm still pretty skeptical about this game given the announcements and decisions they've done. Hopefully this "episodic" format doesn't turn out like Alone in the Dark did.

Well that's good because besides the jump-scare sequences, Dead Space was not intense or scary enough. Alan Wake doesn't look too nuts yet but I guess I don't care anymore since they canceled the PC version.

To whoever the interviewer was: no one likes a (overeager) kiss ass.
