    Probably the most anticipated game of the last few years, been about for moons, but still no release..

    Video’s look great and will utilize quad core CPUs to get the best out of it

    Think you will agree it looks rather stunning

    p.s. Remedy did the first 2 Max Payne’s so expect something v good (better had be with the amount of waiting we’ve had to do!) 🙂

    Awesome. Was under the impression it was a PS3 release.

    Did you not watch the video’s in the links? The Microsoft bit at the beginning gives it away

    Woweee!! So… if I am planning a new PC for the summer… should it have 4 cores?

    No Turks, the fewer cores the better, means they don’t get as distracted as you can get a mix or females and males cores and they don’t work well together.

    Well I did a faitr bit of research into this when buying my new processor – a lot of the data seems to suggest that quad cores are actually slower than equivelent dual cores because they dont work very efficiently except in specialised tasks. Alan Wake is highly unusual in that it is being optimised for 4 cores – but its a gamble as to how many other games will do that in the future.

    Personally i reckon if you spent the money on a top of the range dual core you would be better off… and buy a quad core in a year or two if it looks like the technical issues with doing multi core processing are ironed out. But I’m no expert.

    My personal view is.. buy a cheaper Xbox360, then you don’t have to worry 🙂

    or get a quad core and overclock it to dual core speeds 🙂 best of both worlds

    Or get laid, or even watch an 80’s Action Movie.. something like Commando or American Ninja
