Alan Wake: The Writer DLC, good but short

I've been meaning to write about "The Writer" DLC for Alan Wake, I bought it shortly after it was released, but been sinking alot of time into Halo: Reach multi-player that i have not gotten around to writing about it.

The quality of the DLC is really good and it wraps up many (but not all) of the loose ends left by the ending of the game and "The Signal" DLC and definitely sets things up for Alan Wake II. If you've played the first DLC the game play should be familiar and does not introduce any new game play elements to the game. The only real complaint is the DLC is rather short, but on the other hand it ties up the story really nicely, so if you are a fan of the game I can recommend you get it.

To sum things up, if you loved the game and the first DLC, get "The Writer". If you have not purchased the game, wait for the Game of the Year edition to come out and play the game in it's entirety.
