If I sat down and channeled all my negative energy into a ten hour meditation exercise that involved trying to imagine the worst possible gaming scenario I could think of, I really don't think I could beat this one. It's tragic that they even release this game on consoles at all, let alone that some would see the console as a way to evaluate the series. I'm just sorry you put yourself through that. I do however agree with you on Alan Wake; just as you said, they perfectly captured the Twin Peaks vibe. Greatly enjoyed both the first title and American Nightmare.
