G4 and David Lynch

Jake Gaskill did an excellent writeup for G4 on his first impressions of Bright Falls. It rehashes what seems to be an obligatory comparison to David Lynch before recapping the first two episodes.

Episode 2: Time Flies came out today as well.

Bright Falls Website Online

The new Bright Falls website is finally online. BrightFalls.com

Although the videos will be available on Xbox Live April 26th, they should appear on the website the following day.

EDIT: The site includes the videos everyone was expecting, as well an additional audio-scape and pandora integration. Interestingly there’s also a section called Alan’s Story which appears to have additional clues about what led up to the events of Alan Wake. New clues are being unveiled as the “episodes” air.
