April Fools: Alan Wake Wars
11
Throw another gag on the April Fools' Day fire, Remedy has entered the fray. Up for offer is Alan Wake Wars, a game that takes the taut, suspenseful bent of Alan Wake and tosses on a layer of real-time strategy. The game contains 17 maps, 24 unit types and a staggering 18 tech trees. Lots of different units are showcased in the video, including local militia, trucks and, our favorite, deadly lumberjacks. Honestly, as "real time psychological film noir action love story" games go, Alan Wake Wars looks to be on top of the pack. Check out the trailer after the break.

Sad fact: This would still sell on the basis of name-recognition. It worked for Halo, why not this?

I thought it was a pretty good stab at Halo Wars.

Fortunately, Remedy isn't made up of one diminsional tools, such as yourself kspray, and perhaps you should only speak for youself.

Your treading on the line of trolling and personal bias.
