I’ve just spent a few minutes in Bright Falls.  Actually it may well have been longer. To tell the truth I lost track of the time.

Can’t tell you a great deal about the town.  It was night for much of the time, an inky dark that had me reaching to adjust the brightness and contrast settings on my television.

Word on the street is that Bright Falls resembles Twin Peaks without the pie.   Certainly the fare being served in the diner looked less than appetising.  Which brings us to why we’ve ventured here in the first place.  We’re hungry for news of upcoming Xbox360 exclusive Alan Wake, and Microsoft and game developer Remedy are happy to whet our appetites, serving up a six episode prequel (the aforementioned Bright Falls) between now and the game’s release on May 20.

Impressions?  Bright Falls had us genuinely spooked and intrigued in places, but don’t take our word for it.  The best place to see the episodic  Bright Fall videos is right on your Xbox360.  Head over here to the Xbox360 marketplace now and start queuing the files.  The third episode is due to land on May 3rd.  That’s today! Don’t forget to also keep your torches trained on IncompleteGamer.com for our up-coming review.
