If somebody likes Halo than that person already HAS a 360. If a person did not like Halo 3 and Halo ODST and did not buy a 360 for these games than Halo Reach is not going to change that person's mind. But Alan Wake will. Alan Wake is going to attract a lot of new consumers towards 360. Many people will buy a 360 solely for this game.
agreed and im a living testament to ur words nomad :)
yes halo is n wil never be a special title for me atleast but y didnt go for a console b4 NOW ... no its not that pc gaming is so called dying ... its just my current location :p
but i have to agree to nomad ... atleast its true for ... ME!!!

But don't confuse this thing, I do not mean that Alan Wake will sell more than Halo Reach. More people are going to play Halo Reach than Alan Wake. But majority of such people already own a 360. Alan Wake is going to attract more new hardware buyers. It will expand 360's market, that's why it is the most important game on 360 this year.
100% TRUE...Infact i shall purchase xbox360 for Alan Wake...Coz its my most anticipated game this year...
and sadly it turns out to xbox exclusive...so its compulsory to get a xbox360 now...(plus halo never attracts me)

Alan Wake is my most anticipated game on 360 and has the potential to be my favorite game on the platform. It is also the MOST important game for X360 during 2010 (in my opinion, more than Halo Reach).
Well I'll agree.. People more excited and eager to play Alan Wake than Halo:Reach(Includes me).....
But some gamers might disagree right Usuf:p:p

somehow i think this is MS's answer to sony for their heavy rain :) tho teasing us since 3 yrs or soo is BAD ! i hope nothing goes wrong now lol and it comes may 2010 FINALLY !
Alan Wake was in development way before Heavy Rain. You can compare this case with that of Forza 3 and GT5.

The trailer seems quite impressive. Really considering to buy another 360 :)

Same here. I don't care about sequel to Max Payne 2, i.e. Max Payne 3 as much but Alan Wake could be the real "PS3 quality" first party action title from Microsoft Game Studios. I don't really care MUCH about other 360 big guns like Crackdown 2, Fable III.

If a person did not like Halo 3 and Halo ODST and did not buy a 360 for these games than Halo Reach is not going to change that person's mind. But Alan Wake will.

Only the people NEW to Halo (the kids) might buy new 360s for Halo: Reach. The fans, or the ones who remotely look forward to it already have a 360 but Alan Wake could be the killer app besides Halo & Gears.

My sixth sense tells me that I'm in a thread about a game that's GOTY 10.
I don't think I'm looking forward to anything this year more than Alan Wake (considering FFXIII is already here :p )

Or perhaps till Valve announces Ep 3 but that's besides the point :D

the feeling is mutual shyber (except FFXIII)
Alan Wake can easily be GOTY if it lives up to the hype.
and its one of the main reasons i bought a 360 in the first place.
was so captivated by its 2006 some are born to light some are born to endless night trailer

Alan Wake Receives T Rating from ESRB

One could easily jump to the conclusion that Alan Wake -- an atmospheric horror game from the folks behind Max Payne -- would wear an M rating from the ESRB like a blood-soaked badge of honor. That's apparently not the case, however; Microsoft just announced that Remedy's upcoming thriller will sport a T rating when it finally hits store shelves on May 18.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
