The most overrated game this year is "Alan Wake." I do not understand what is so special about this new game. X-box fans are claiming this game as the greatest in survival horror. The manufacturer appears to be desperate to have another successful game franchise similar to "Halo" and "Gears of War." Truthfully, I doubt the new game would ever match its hype. Yet, I would admit that even though "White Knight Chronicles" had lackluster reviews PS3 gamers are still supporting that game.
"Heavy Rain" is the Okami of this generation. The game is very unique. It offers revolutionary control system and decision making game functions which can lead the story in multiple directions which can leave the gamer guessing till the last possible event. In other words, the game would make others, like part of the cast, live as if in an interactive movie taking place within their own homes. This is an incredible achievement for interactive video game platforms. In a world where FPS online shooter frenzy and GTA open world driving games have dominated the shelves for the past few years it is good to see an innovative game like "Alan Wake" take such a big risk has similar to that of Okami with PS2.
