PSA: Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is out on XBLA

February 22, 2012

Hold onto your typewriters and flare guns, game fans – Alan Wake’s American Nightmare has just dropped onto Xbox LIVE Arcade!

I’m downloading it right now, in fact, and as soon as it’s done, my internet connection is going to mysteriously break, and I’ll text James and tell him I’m being stalked by an evil doppelgänger and that I have to take the rest of the week off to defeat the forces of darkness. It’s really only half a lie.

The all-new adventure features a single-player campaign as well as an arcade survival mode.

In this brand new standalone experience, Alan Wake fights the herald of darkness, the evil Mr. Scratch! A thrilling new storyline, hordes of creepy enemies, serious firepower and beautiful Arizona locations, combined with a fun and challenging new game mode make this a must for Alan Wake veterans, and the perfect jumping on point for new players! Play the full-fledged Story Mode, and you’ll be on the edge of your seat as you fight to stop your murderous evil double to take back your life… and change reality itself! But there’s more to this nightmare – in the action-packed Arcade Mode, you’ll need to master the Fight with Light mechanic to stay alive until dawn and beat your friends on the Leaderboards. Can you survive until sunrise?
