Alan Wake The Writer is a Adventuring game available on the 360. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer modes.

Alan Wake The Writer is a Adventuring game. Adventure games are enjoyed for two reasons: they provide enemy encounters that require tactics and strategy to conquor, and they create a fantasy world in which to explore and adventure.

Alan Wake The Writer can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Alan Wake The Writer can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Story Gamer review Fri, 29 Oct 2010

Alan Wake The Writer 360 departs reality altogether as Alan sinks deeper into his own madness. While this surreal dreamworld contains some impressive set-pieces, The Writer lacks much of the compelling atmosphere of the core game.

To address this DLC I'll be openly referenceing plot and gameplay from both the main Alan Wake game and the first DLC installment, The Signal. I'm also going to presume you've read those earlier reviews and are up to speed with Alan Wake, Bright Falls and the mysterious Dark Place.
