Alan Wake spent some time here in Sydney recently, well, not Alan Wake personally, but the developer who brought him and the game to life.

Over here to help promote the game, and ended up participating in some experiments as well. SO slip over to the site, check out the final community night dinner, as well as some of the info on the unique experiment using Alan Wake.

Well the last week has been a hectic here in Sydney, what with a hands-on with the official Bungie limited Media Muliplayer Beta Testing at Microsoft’s Head Office last Friday, and the hands-on with Alan Wake on the following Monday and then of course the excellent community dinner with Alan Wake Managing Director Matias Myllyrine and Community Manager Peter Papadopoulos on Tuesday night. You could certainly say that it’s been a busy week, and it’s not over yet.

Tuesday night saw several community site members and Facebook winners sharing a close intimate dinner with both Matias Myllyrine and Peter Papadopoulos who were here to showcase their upcoming ‘Action Suspense Thriller’, Alan Wake.

The even was held at the very trendy Favela Churrascaria‘s Brazilian BBQ Style Restaurant section in at Potts Point, an area otherwise known as Kings Cross to the locals. Which was the perfect location and added the right atmosphere for the evening with its dimly lit premises. If you haven’t been before, make sure you do go at some stage if you are in The Cross.

Microsoft had set the place up with 8 Xbox 360 pods all fitted out with Alan Wake code loaded on debug units for the attendees to get their hands nice and dirty on, in true Alan Wake style.

We were presented and served with excellent food which was cooked by the extremely friendly staff of the club, and served straight to the tables. None of the pre-prepared stuff, it was all freshly made and served straight away.
