I bet your spine is tingling.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Fight till Dawn&#8221; mode has Alan Wake up against waves of enemies in an all-out battle for natural selection and leaderboard dominance.<\/p>\n<p>So far, so Horde, but the press release also talks about nail guns and Uzis, which sounds a whole lot better than that dinky flashlight. Apparently Alan Wake learned a thing or two about proper personal defence the first time around.<\/p>\n<p>Presumably it&#8217;s a single-player mode, though, which does seem a bit of a shame. Everything is better with friends, <em>especially<\/em> survival modes; and Alan Wake spends far too much time on his own as it is.<\/p>\n<p>The guy needs to get out and socialise a bit; it&#8217;s no wonder he&#8217;s slightly cracked. In fact, I&#8217;m sure if he just had somebody to talk to, this whole thing with the evil doppelg\u00e4nger wouldn&#8217;t have happened.<\/p>\n<p>Alan Wake&#8217;s American Nightmare is scheduled to launch on the Xbox LIVE sometime in the first half of 2012.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VfY_7gahx5g?rel=0&amp;hd=1\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related Article<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Alan Wake\u2019s American Nightmare is \u201cvery much B movie, Tarantino and grind house\u201d\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/29705-alan-wakes-american-nightmare-is-very-much-b-movie-tarantino-and-grind-house.html\">Alan Wake\u2019s American Nightmare is \u201cvery much B movie, Tarantino and grind house\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Alan Wake confirmed for PC launch\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/29597-alan-wake-confirmed-for-pc-launch.html\">Alan Wake confirmed for PC launch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Remedy ditches GFWL for Alan Wake PC\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/29688-remedy-ditches-gfwl-for-alan-wake-pc.html\">Remedy ditches GFWL for Alan Wake PC<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More bang for your buck &#8211; now with nail guns!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":29720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[1565,1671],"class_list":["post-29777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-xbox","tag-alan-wake-american-nightmare","tag-remedy-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29777"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29777\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29793,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29777\/revisions\/29793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
