Alan Wake is classified as a "Psychological Action Thriller". In fact, it's right on the box. But while I expected the story to have more questions than answers somewhere in the vicinity of Lost (it does), the atmosphere to be creepy like a Hitchcock movie based on Rosie O'Donnell (it is), and the enemies to pop out of nowhere in slow-motion waving their arms at you like a street vendor vying for your attention (check), I did not expect the gameplay to be any good. But you know what? I had fun.

 Lots of it, in fact.

Everyone's played Wii Sports, right? Well Wii Sports Resort is pretty much the same thing, except the controller is way better and the games are more fun.

The sports are broken down into various categories, so I may as well review them individually.

Sword Fighting

Sherlock Holmes (the movie) seems like someone read Sherlock Holmes (the Wikipedia entry) and said to themselves "Hey, I can make a movie like that!" The differences between Holmes the literary character and Holmes the movie character are night and day, plus there were a few odd cinematography choices that were very distracting to me.

The second episode of Sam and Max Season 2, Moai Better Blues, takes our heroes to Easter Island, where they must stop the "Volcano God" from destroying the Moai civilization.  Ancient prophesy has predicted a dog in a suit and a giant horrible mouth coming to save them all... uncanny prophesies of doom including Max... does that make an even dozen?  But the question... how does this installment stack up to the series so far?
