Why have Alan Wake's sales been so long? Is the Xbox user base really a collection of foul mouths pre-teens and whiney college kids that are no good at shooters? Apparently not, the games developer Remedy has seen sales remain constant since Alan Wake's release and expect the game to have very long legs. Not to mention the game features some of the best graphics that have been on an Xbox 360.
Alan Wake features an engrossing story that follows a writer around the strange town of Bright Falls. Many strange things happen to Alan and his friend and agent Barry as they try to get the bottom of the mystery in Bright Falls.
Alan Wake is presented as an episodic game that includes 6 episodes that total about 12 hours in length. Remedy has announced they plan to support the game with downloadable content that will extend the story with more episodes.
