Alan Wake “The Signal” Review

Alan Wake’s “The Signal” DLC picks up right where the main game ended. Serving as the seventh “episode” of the game, it opens up refreshing our memories with the “previously seen on” trailer utilized through the main game and explains exactly what happened at the end in case we weren’t too sure. Alan has succeeded in saving his wife Alice by destroying the darkness’ avatar in the long deceased Barbara Jagger, but in the process has trapped himself within the darkness. Now, in a twisted and constantly shifting dark mirror of Bright Falls, Alan must find a way out of the darkness before succumbing to the encroaching madness while also figuring out what new presence Alan is fighting against that is using shadows of his memories to try to steer him off the proper path.

Pokemon Black & White to Feature Video Chat

If someone told you that Pokemon was getting video chat, surely you’d think they were trying to mess with you, right? That’s not the case, reports Serebii. Serebii, a website that focuses on Pokemon, received a pamphlet detailing the new features such as the aforementioned  video chat and “pass by” mode, both only available to players using DSis or, once launched, 3DSes. “Pass By” Mode is where two active 3DSes/DSis will sync up while in a pocket for unknown bonuses. Video chat will allow 2 players to video chat over Wi-Fi or up to 4 players locally… you know, in case you’re sitting far across from one another and you don’t want to speak loudly cause there’s a baby in the room… or because sending a text message costs too much if you’re trying to say something about someone else in the room without them knowing.

Top 5 Xbox Games of 2010 So Far

This year has been quite the year for games so a few of us at the Xbox team figured we’d count off our top 5 games we played on the Xbox 360 this year so far. Keep in mind, this list is not based to exclusives only.

5. Bioshock 2- Many people, including myself, were skeptical going into Bioshock 2, it had a new developer and the first game felt as if it did not really need a sequel. It did take a while to get going, but once it did, it was a blast. The story was of course nowhere near as spectacular and immersive as its processors but it was enough to keep us chugging along in this beautiful and fun game.

What’re You Doing This Weekend? 7/30/10

We here at the Xbox team play a lot of games. We also occasionally watch movies and do other stuff. This weekly article is a slightly altered version of the previous “What we’re playing” articles. Now, you can talk about whatever you want. A game, a movie, a comic, anything. So I ask you Player Affinity fans, what’re you doing this weekend? 

This weekend is largely going to be one comprised of rest. I’ve done quite a bit of game playing and game writing about so I’m pretty excited to finally be able to sit down, drink a Sprite, chill out on my couch, and play NBA 2K10; which is the main game I’ll be playing all week. With the recent “Decision,” by LeBron James, I’ve decided to take my talents to South Beach. And what I mean by that is I decided to start playing NBA basketball games again. I’ve never been too large of a fan of basketball video games (or basketball in general), I always thought they were the worst of the sports games, and while I still think that, I’m finding some fun in 2K10.

Metroid: Other M Theater

Do you fancy cinema scenes but hate all that video game playing nonsense? Would you rather video games and movies be separated like church and state? Well, if so, then the creators of Metroid: Other M have a solution for you. Upon completion of the game, a feature becomes unlocked where you can view every cut scene as a streamlined two-hour movie.

Okay, so the feature, named Theater Mode, isn’t about separating movie from game, and is not for those who hate playing video games; obviously. In a 1up interview from Wed. with series co-creator, Yoshio Sakamoto states, “We placed just as much weight on enjoying the story as we did on the action aspects of this game, but it’s hard to fully communicate a storyline in a video game with just one playthrough. At the same time, though, it’s asking a lot of players to beat the game twice to get it all, so that’s where the idea for that mode came from.”
