Alan Wake is a title that for many years served only to occupy the tail end of release lists and always with an indeterminate date. For all that time I thought little of the title. Surely it would end up in development limbo and probably never see the light of day. Suddenly, it resurfaced at E3 2009, and my interest in Remedy’s mysterious title continued to grow until it was finally released on May 18, 2010. Was the long development cycle worth the wait?
