If you're completely psyched for Alan Wake, and can't wait until it arrives in May, (like, for example, me!), you'll likely be quite excited about Bright Falls, the six-part, live action prequel to the game. The series is due to release soon on Xbox Live, Xbox.com, and brightfalls.com, and is set to run right up until the games North American release.  In even better news, The New York Times has been given exclusive access to the first two episodes, which are available to watch now on The New York Times' website.

In these first two episodes, the series introduces the prequels main protagonist, Jake Fisher, and starts setting the scene for the the game. Right from the start, the series is filled with enough intrigue, menace, and down-right quirkiness to draw more than its fair share of comparisons to cult classic TV show Twin Peaks, and is an entertaining watch for those desperate to get their hands on the game. We'll just have to hope that we don't have to wait long for the final four episodes.

In a strange turn of events, likely due to the fact that developers Remedy are based in Finland, Alan Wake is due to hit retail shelves on May 14th in Europe, and May 18th in North America.
