    It was an enjoyable (Though the controls sometimes drove my insane due to being on a phone) playthrough; I have yet to 100% it but I will one day; This will be a day one purchase for me on Xbox One to bulk up my library a little bit :)

    Was interested, but at $15 I'll pass. A small top down game like this should be no more than $5-$10, because from everything I've seen so far, this looks far worse than Halo Wars could've ever hoped of being.
    Time to finish up BioShock Infinite on 1999 Mode.

    This is where MS should really take a leaf out of Sonys book and have one single purchase cross-platform (Cross-Play?). At least use this game as a test to see if good sales are generated from the method.
    Previously on Alan Wake...

    Yea Cross Buy would be great. This is a step in the right direction though.

    bullshizz that they are releasing it later on the 360. a shitty ploy to have a halo game close to launch on the new console.

    The only thing this and Halo Wars have in common is the "top down" view. Those of us that have actually played the game enjoy it, and I'm looking forward to the improvements and coop. I didn't like the original control scheme, but definitely like the feel of the game now that controller support is on the W8 version...will probably get it on both the One and 360, especially if they offer another discount in Jan for that version.
    Look at me so I can finish!

    This game isn't even close to Halo Wars and comparing it to Halo Wars is quite unfair and very unrealistic. The only similarities are the Halo name and the top down view. Not to mention, Halo Wars was a full scale retail release and this isn't.

    I'm not saying the game is worth $15 but it's a fun game and worth a look or at the very least a demo play.

    Well the W8 and WP versions were $3 last week, so that makes it $8 in total for both versions for me! For those that were thinking of waiting for the console version I pointed out that most Arcade tiltes launch at between $10 to $15 - Belated Win 8 and WP DotW: November 28th, 2013. So it will take a 50% off sale ($7.50) to make this cheaper than me picking it up on the console day one, Thanks 343 :D

    Looks kinda like the arcade version of Halo Wars.


    I'll probably have to snag this for the 360 on sale.
