If Alan Wake's TV show-like presentation isn't, well, enough like a TV show for ye, here's some good news: next week, the first episode in a six-part live-action Alan Wake series will be available on Xbox Live.

Bright Falls, shot on location in Oregon, acts as a prequel t' the events in the game -- which hopefully means that at least some weirdness be taking place in the game's location before the arrival a Mr. Wake. Otherwise, we'll be watching six episodes about a really pleasant town. Allaying the concern we just expressed, Microsoft promises that the series "evokes the same ghostly chills as 'Twin Peaks' did when it premiered 20 years ago this month."

The first two episodes will be available for Xbox Live booty crew on April 25, for everyone else on Xbox Live on April 26, 'n on brightfalls.com on April 27, with one new episode releasing each week until May 17's two-part finale. That date happens t' be one day before the Xbox 360 game's release date, at which point ye'll pillage t' see the rest a the story in the game -- 'n the short story included with the collector's edition.
