Has anyone else out in BZP-land played Alan Wake?

I just finished the game today and I'm looking for someone else to discuss theories on the ending scenes of the game.

Overall, the game was assuredly entertaining. The story is definitely the game's strongest element, but the gameplay follows closely behind. The lighting effects are the most beautiful and life-like I have seen in any game, period. Not only with the flashlight, but in the environment throughout the whole game. Shadows move and sway with the light; atmosphere is drastically altered when the sun disappears behind the horizon. The flare guns and flash bang grenades are gorgeous. At times I wished I had more of each just to watch them explode on my screen.

The narrative and story-telling methods in this game really set it apart from its contemporaries. You find random pieces of a mysterious manuscript that Alan has supposedly written strewn across the forest and parts of the town. Sometimes, these pages describe an event that will happen in short time; or better yet, it will describe an event that has just happened, but from the perspective of another character. This fundamental tool gives the player an opportunity to better understand the world and people that surround Alan Wake. There are also radios in houses that you can find and listen in on a local talk show. Not much story comes from these, but they definitely make you feel as if you're actually in Bright Falls, the location for the game.

My only complaint is that this game is extremely short, even compared to games like Halo, Call of Duty, and other recent blockbuster games. Of course, it probably doesn't help that I'm right in the middle of my first Oblivion playthrough and that game is grand in scale. However, I understand that for story driven games like this, it's a little selfish to expect a lengthy game. If it was any longer, the quality of the story probably would have been compromised to try and stretch with the length of the game. In all I probably didn't play for more than 10-12 hours on my first playthrough. I am, however, going to play the whole game again once, if not two more times.

Remedy did a great job with this title. I normally don't buy DLC (save for games I absolutely love or spend ridiculous amounts of time playing), but I'm going to invest the money for the second DLC episode (you get a free code for the first DLC episode).
