VG247: “Keighley: Alan Wake XBLA is “effectively” Alan Wake 2”, December 5th, 2011

Ignoring the non-newsworthy hyperbole from Spike TV’s glorified gaming hype man, this kind of lazy ineptitude shouldn’t be happening still, on a professional site:

The digital title, rumoured to be subtitled Bright Falls, will debut at the Spike-hosted awards this weekend.

The hyperlink above — whose URL and associated headline is visible by simply hovering over it — links back to a previous news article which clearly shows the (rumored) menu of the AW sequel, and its name. Assuming it was real.

VG247: “Rumour: Alan Wake: Night Springs front menu shown”, November 4th, 2011

It’s not Alan Wake: Bright Falls, as stated. It’s Alan Wake: Night Springs (or Alan Wake’s Night Springs). It says that right in the goddamn title, which was also coincidentally written by JoCul, just a month ago.

I mean… I’m just sayin’. Journalism.

I would suggest that someone at VG247 hop in a car (or aboard a plane, or whatever) and head over to Johnny Cullen’s house so they can give him a swift kick in the Pulitzers, but they’re probably too busy writing their own shoddily-written, poorly-researched pieces.

Also, “The VGAs happen this Saturday”? If Cullen got higher than a C in his English GCSE exam I will be incredibly surprised.
