Crysis, because:
1-Alan Wake isn't a shooter. Maybe the plot will be much better than the one from Crysis, but Alan is an slow paced thriller which not revolves around the massive use of weapons, modifications and nano-suit powered combat.
2-Who cares about the plot? Alan Wake has not multiplayer, if the multiplayer in Crysis is good (specially Power Struggle) I don't care even ifthe game arrived without single player campaign. Even Oblivion has nothing to do in my Xfire profile against multiplayer games like BF2 or Dawn Of War saga in terms of hours. Multiplayer rules.
3-Crysis tech is in another magnitude. Modelling of the wireframes, density of the forest, interactivity with the enviroments, procedural animations that change the angles of our bodies acording to the terrain, deept of field, etc. Realism? Seems that the forest in Alan Wake use the two same trees, i feel more vivid the jungle in Crysis than the silent and void landscapes in AW. And, like in Far Cry (Shader Model 3.0, HDR lightning, support to 64 bits CPUs... )Crytek will be add new features to the game after the launch, so Crysis probably will reign for a long, long time as the best looking fps...
4-Crysis don't need Vista. I will update my Athlon 64 3500+, 2 GB RAM & 7900 GT to a Core 2 Duo + G90 (or 8800 GTX OC/Ultra if doesn't leave in november) to play it in my Viewsonix VX2025wm, but I will not jump to Vista to play any game until 2009, and Alan Wake is Vista exclusive.
5-Crysis could be shiped at september, or at least the demos, instead the difusse date of "2008" in the case of Alan Wake. I simply don't go to seat and await a year for a game which probably I will last in two, or three weeks.
