At this point it's difficult even to make a joke about Alone in the Dark's constant delays. It's been delayed so much that we're losing track. First it was November. Then it was March. Then it was May (after Atari announced that it wasn't delayed until September). It's like one of those nightmares where the thing you desire is always just out of reach. The latest push, if you insist on keeping track, is to June 24 in the US and June 20 in Europe. The reason behind the delay is to allow developer Eden games some more time to polish the game to a mirror shine. For what it's worth, this is the first actual date we've seen attached to Alone in the Dark for some time (as opposed to a more nebulous release month).
All we know is that if we don't get our horror fix soon, we may have to resort to something drastic like reading.

I can't wait for this game and it's bold new episodic structure. Also I want to duct tape a chair to an enemy and set it on fire.

I thought someone from MS went on record saying Alan Wake was due this year. I find it hard to believe though based on how much we've seen (practically nothing).

The someone to whom you're referring is none other than Shane Kim of Microsoft Game Studios. We'll see.
