Who else played Alan Wake? My friend and I started replaying it last night in the spirit of Halloween, but weren't we surprised to be reminded that the enemies in the game are Darkness-possessed people known as Taken. The description of them is even the same:

The Taken stood before me. It was impossible to focus on it, as if it stood in a blind spot caused by a brain tumor or an eye disease. It was bleeding shadows like ink underwater, like a cloud of blood from a shark bite.
I was terrified. I squeezed the flashlight like my life depended on it, willing it to stop it coming any closer. Suddenly, something gave, and the light seemed to shine brighter.[/i]
I mean, come on. This is way too similar to be coincidence, right?

They are similar, no doubt. But they are also very different.
