Any buzz on this psychological thriller? First time I read about it was this week.

Yep been playing it a heck of a lot and loving it. I bought the limited edition as it was same price as normal. Great extras with it. It's a beautiful looking game too IMHO. Recommend anyone to check it out.

Thanks for the info. I surprised I did not see a demo for it on xbox live. Suspenseful? Scary? Thrilling?

^ all those things. It's like Silent Hill meets Twin Peaks in Stephen Kings love chamber, they all have a massive orgy and Alan Wake is the bastard child. :)

The sense of atmosphere and scale is beyond anything we have seen in a action/ survival horror so far.

Biggest critiscim is that lip syncing in cut scenes is not up to the standard of everything else.
