So how weird was it to be buying DLC for a Nintendo system?

At the very least, they are reasonably priced. Not the first time I've done it though... helped niece, nephew and sister buy DLC songs for Just Dance and Guitar Hero many times before!

I finished Alan Wake yesterday and I have to wonder... does the DLC solves some of the questions left by the ending?

I'm trying to remember, but it's been a while so it's a little hazy.  I remember feeling I understood what had happened in the end, though I couldn't be entirely sure.  Not sure now but I think he kinda "sacrifices" himself to press the switch in order to rescue his wife which in effect leaves him trapped forever in the nightmare ... or something like that.

Can't remember if the DLC gives any more answers, but I remember it feeling a little like an interlude between the end of the game and a projected AW2 (which incidentally has been already written if reports were to be believed)

999 update. I can say without hesistation that this is quite unlike any game I've ever played before.  There could be superficial comparisons to Phoenix Wright, but really this is one of thoe text adventures that are popular in Japan (I'm assuming).

It's amazing how, with so little audio and visual cues, they are able to draw you into the feeling of the scenes, for example, the urgency of your tasks and the child-like emotions of your character.

Yeah, not sure I'd recommend it to many people, it's very different, but I'm enjoying it.

It's very odd how much detail they put into things like doors opening and closing and foot steps running down a hall way... The audio is surprisingly VERY well done!

I can't wait to see people's reactions to some of the Scientific Theory story elements they throw in there! Pretty crazy stuff!

It's hard to classify this "game." If you expect it to be game-y, you might be disappointed at first. I would actually describe it as a Visual Novel with Gameplay elements first, so as to set any expectations straight!

If I had to predict, I would say Vader will appreciate some of the almost RE-like puzzles. Yoda will scoff at the "theories" presented... and you will kill everyone on the ship.  LOL

Someone else will love it for the Story elements and portrayal of the characters... **not so subtle hint, hint!**

Well so far, I've only heard the BBC documentary stuff, which is codswallop. Entertaining enough though, especially when delivered by Lotus:

If you like Nagoshi's Yakuza series emphasis on characters, and are even slightly interested in third-person shooting you should be satisfied. If you would like more Binary Domain impressions from me and foolz, you can listen to Episode 113 of the Press Room or Episode 103 (I think that is Foolz check in).

If you want a bonus code listen to Episode 114. I don't think anyone ever used it.

I think my TPS experience may be limited to stuff like RE4, RE5, Alan Wake and the Max Payne games or Uncharted if they count.  I enjoyed all of these very much.  I played just one and a half of the Yakuza games but I do really like what you described, so I'm realising BD has quite a high appeal.  

Will listen to those episodes you mentioned when I get home in a week.  I haven't played Vanquish yet, but is it similar to that?

^Similar to an extent, but much better. In terms of the thirs person shooting mechanic, very much so, so if you could hang with it difficulty wise you should enjoy BD very much.

Ep 113 of the podcast gives my fullest impressions.  The story doesn't kick in right away, but it ramps up well as it goes.

So the new Xbox is based on Intel and nVidia chips like the original Xbox?

That would be funny if it was backwards compatible with all Xbox 1 games, but they had to do software emulation for the 360 stuff. lol
