E3 wouldn't be E3 without the buzzing of rumours, passed on by people too impatient to wait for official announcements (that'll be all of us, then). The two most exciting that have tickled our ears thus far regard potential Xbox 360 exclusivity of psychological thriller Alan Wake, and a Wii-exclusive Star Wars game with lightsaber-style control via the, ah, Wii controller.
Alan Wake is a highly-tipped chiller from Max Payne developer Remedy. It promises Silent Hill-ish chills and a plotline about a haunted horror writer. It had previously been announced for next-generation consoles and PC, but gossips are now speculating that it's poised to be announced as a 360-exclusive game at E3 this week.
As for the Wii-exclusive Star Wars game, the rumour mongering is simply suggesting that the console's controller will deliver interactive lightsaber battles. But that's all you're getting. As we say, they're just rumours, but if there's any truth in them, rely on us to dish the details.
