Not a full-blown sequel, American Nightmare will be available on XBLA in 2012.

I really enjoyed the first, and I look forward to this.

Looks great. I love that this is dealing with Mr. Scratch in some regard.

It's apparently still a big game. Just as big as a full release, despite it's episodic DLC release status.

Wait, so is it going to be multiple DLCs over time a la Back To The Future ???? Or just one DLC ???

Over time I believe.

That's a pretty damn impressive looking XBLA game.

edit: I don't think this is DLC. I was under the impression this is a full on xbox live arcade release.

I was too - but perhaps plans changed?

Alan wake, to me, was a slight disappointment. Between what felt like nothing but forest and 3 enemy types, it got boring fast.

Originally promised as 'open world' it ended up being your traditional linear single player experience....
That said, will give this one a chance

While I will agree that it was linear and there were only a slight differentiation of enemies, the FANTASTIC story (to me) totally overshadowed those game flaws.

awesome.
One of the only games I ever felt was legit scary to play.

I think you're right. I read a few articles on it today, and that appears to be the case.

With all the RE excitement, I didn't even realize this game was coming out Feb 15th.

Oh crap, that's coming up pretty soon. I'm going to have to pull myself away from The Old Republic to play this one.

Looking forward to this one. Kinda 'rediscovered' Alan Wake and the game has really grown on me. Last two DLC were very different (well, The Signal, for sure)

I really enjoyed Alan Wake and I've just played the trial for this. Its very good but I've read that its very short and probably not worth the 1200 points.

I disagree. 5 hour story plus a arcade mode for what, $15? Alan wake itself was about 9 hours no arcade mode, and was $60
Honestly, seems like a great deal.


Already downloading myself - update: whoa, fast download - about 15 min as of 11a Central time

I really liked Alan Wake, I'll have to get this one at some point

Inital impressions: graphics definitely improved since the original game hit 360 about 18months ago
