A promotional live-action short movie entitled Bright Falls was officially released on 27 April 2010 and serves as a prequel to the game Alan Wake. It is divided into six episodes and can be watched online at brightfalls.com.
I really like the idea to begin a game with several short movies to promotional use or just to start with the immersion, before you can actually play the game.
Transmedia Rules!
Watch it on
brightfalls.com (they really did a nice Philips ambilight out of the box thing! Yeah… just watch!)

Ubisoft did a similar thing with Assassins Creed II last year, they released several episodes as a prequel to the story in the game itself.
But hey, screw episodes, just watch the entire movie on YouTube in HD
