In their hands-on with the upcoming horror/thriller Alan Wake, 1up couldn't help but notice it had a few striking similarities to a certain popular action-adventure title.

Go to the source for the full article.

You can make a pretty convincing argument that Alan Wake is nothing like Uncharted 2. It's a horror game, for one thing -- though I think the developers prefer the term "thriller." One title takes itself very seriously; the other less so. One also relies heavily on light/dark gameplay mechanics (which are absent in the other), and takes place in a completely different location than the other.

But when I got my hands on the game at a Microsoft press event last week, I found myself noticing a lot of similarities. Just enough, in fact, to make a preview out of them -- even though I doubt most were intentional on the part of the developers; and I don't mean to start any PS3/360 system war comparisons between the two. I just came away from my playtime thinking that the two felt oddly similar.

    For the love of God, I hope this doesn't spark constant comparisons between the two. It's bad enough IGN instigated this "Mass Effect 2 better than Uncharted 2?" shpiel, let's not do it again.
