If you like BioWare and all things “Mass Effecty”, you are going to want to make sure you tune in to this week’s GameTrailers TV for the inside scoop on Mass Effect 2’s Elusive Man plus a first look at some new levels.

Want more incentive? Alright. How about some never before seen Alan Wake footage, new trailers for Dante’s Inferno and Command & Conquer 4, and in-depth review of Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2? Get your palette wet with the preview trailer below.

We haven’t seen or heard much of anything about Alan Wake over the last two years, beyond a few new screens, and it definitely won’t be at TGS this year. Still, developer Remedy took some time to relax, because of all the hard work that is probably going on, but we’ve yet to see.

This popped up in the official Alan Wake forums, where Remedy’s Markus Mäki stamped all over the rumours of a showing at TGS 2008.

“Sorry for the confusion and possible disappointment, but this was not an announcement that Wake would be shown at TGS 2008. Remedy’s team is just getting back from a bit of holiday and we haven’t had time to chat with Microsoft on upcoming shows/showings yet.”

I’m not sure what I’m more concerned about, the fact that it doesn’t appear to be anywhere near the point where it can be shown in public, or a developer suggests there should be only “possible” disappointment in their own game.

Alan Wake, the upcoming action-thriller from Remedy Entertainment (developers behind Max Payne), was mysteriously missing at this year’s E3 convention. Now, however, it looks like the game will show up at this year’s Tokyo Games Show.

According to MSN games, Microsoft is holding a contest in which the winner will have their likeness appear in the game. They’ll be flown to Finland to Remedy HQ, where they’ll get their digital make-over. Then they’ll be flown to Tokyo to TGS 08 to be “one the scene and on the screen.”

After doing a little digging, I found out via the TGS Wikipedia article that Alan Wake has indeed been confirmed to show.

Alan Wake will be released for PC and Xbox 360 on an unannounced date and the Tokyo Game Show will run October 9th to 12th.
