Developed by The Chinese Room and the talented Robert Briscoe, Dear Esther is a ghost story, told using first-person gaming technologies. Rather than traditional gameplay, the focus here is on exploration, uncovering the mystery of a Hebridean island, of who you are and why you are there. Enjoy the comparison!

Alan Wake is a game that a lot of PC gamers have been waiting for. Some people think that the game changed from an open-world title to a linear horror action adventure due to X360’s exclusivity, but that is not true.

Alan Wake has been released for the PC, so it’s time now to see how Remedy’s little gem performs on a modern-day PC. Continue reading Alan Wake PC Performance Analysis→
