This along with Oblivion are the next-gen games that are most likely going to make me bite. My poor, poor checking account. I swear college is fun, but I'll be damned glad to actually be able to spend a little money without feeling bad about it.

I believe the main character is an author, who writes horror/science fiction, and then his stories start becoming real? Or he starts living them? Something like that.
Backstory:
Alan Wake is a horror writer whose fiancé was his muse. Whenever he was with her, sleeping by her side, he dreamed the dark dreams of the demented. Now, while I'd be the kind of guy to dump her and run for the hills, Alan not only was in love, but was profiting off of the dreams. His nightmares because the reality of best selling horror novels. But when his fiancé mysteriously disappeared, never to be heard from again, he stopped dreaming. In fact, he was so crushed by the loss that he stopped sleeping altogether. That can make a guy pretty tired and also pretty loopy.
Before too long, he retreated to the sleepy town of Pride Falls in the state of Washington to check into the sleep clinic outside of town. After curing the problem and getting a little bit of sleep, Alan finds and sleeps with a woman that looks eerily like his missing love. Yes, that's pretty messed up. What's even more messed up is that he immediately starts having the dreams again. The problem is, when he begins writing again, the dreams start seeping into real life.
The question for Alan is simple and complicated all at once. Are these visions and dreams really coming to life, or is he simply slipping into a dangerous dementia from which there is no return?

That sounds like a great horror/suspense set-up. With visuals like those, exploring the place is going to be awesomely creepy.

What did you think was so terrible about the 2nd one, Pimp? I liked it the first time around, though I quit in the middle of replaying it. Still, I thought it was far from terrible. It was the first game with HAVOK, after all. It made for some great shoot-outs.
As far as Alan Wake... Looks good, but I'm wishing for some actual gameplay shots. I'm sick of all these show-off engine shots most devs put out these days.
