Alan Wake - one of the 48 best games of 2008.

Gamepro.com has a new article up on their site titled “The 48 Best Games of 2008″ and our beloved Alan Wake falls in at the 17th position:

Why you should care: Horror writer A. Wake (get it?) finds himself trapped in one of those nightmarish situations that video game characters so often get themselves into. As Wake, players will have to use light-what little there is-to good advantage, as the game’s monstrous enemies are susceptible to it. Wake will also have to piece together what’s happening to him in the creepy, haunted world of Bright Falls.

Why you shouldn’t: If A. Wake is simply dreaming, someone is going to get punched. In the neck.
