And out of nowhere, more screenshots for Alan Wake appeared.

The game, which is finally arriving in May of this year, has been about our most eagerly awaited Xbox 360 release of the past couple of years, and boy have they made us wait for it. You probably know the score: it was originally announced back in 2005, and then details of Remedy's psychological thriller (for that it was it is being billed as) have been very scarce.

That's why the release of the new screens is as welcome as it is. They're firmly in keeping with the dark tone we've been promised, and while we don't want to read too much into them, it's fair to say that our enthusiasm hasn't been dampened at all.
