Alan Wake's American Nightmare Review

Alan wake if you didn't know already was a full game released in 2010, a physiological horror game, well this carries on in this vein and doesn't disappoint.

The story is set in the alan wake world but isnt a sequel, which is slightly confusing but should become clear as you play it, he is essentially stuck inside a script he wrote "Night Springs".

There are two game modes, story mode and arcade mode, we'll start off with the story mode, there is a few slight differences in this standalone game than Alan wake has, first of all it's not as long but it's enough for a xbla game, secondly it's more reliant on the action side of things instead of a psychological approach like Alan wake 1 which was a slight disappointment but I enjoyed it none the less.

Another interesting difference is the collectible manuscripts have become an incentive to collect as it allows you to gain extra weapons, which are scattered through the entire game in flashing black cases, there some new enemies in the game with splitters that break into two after shining your flash light on them, spiders, giant creatures with chainsaws and taken that turn into birds to try to swoop down and surprise you.

Kid's Club 1 Review

So we come to that time of year again where I give you all a round-up of the entire Club League 1 season’s happenings in one lovely article which I hope you’ll enjoy.

For a change I’ll start from the bottom of the pack, offering my commiserations to Wesbank, Superden and Bring It who will be slumming it in the second tier of club football next season. Wesbank never seemed to get going at all with just 9 points earned all season with Crystal Palace who are still undecided as to whether Wes still has a place at their club. Superden and Bring It had one last chance to prove their worth against Kevcall and Fran but neither was successful in the relegation playoffs. Bring It can handle himself with the best of players, however a massive 8 – 2 defeat at the hands of EmotionalWorm midseason will have knocked his confidence for sure.
