If you're anything like me, you love you some Alan Wake. There was fear that Remedy's hero would never return from the darkness, but he has emerged to fight once more.

Wake's next adventure brings him to the Xbox Live Arcade in Alan Wake's American Nightmare, which was just revealed during in trailer form during the Spike VGAs. In the game's first footage, Wake reveals an evil copy of himself--dubbed Mr. Scratch--terrorizing the world he inhabits.

      Looks like the logical progression of the first game. Can't wait.

          Non-PC games don't exist to some.

          Shame, too... if the game had a following maybe they could spend money working on a PC release? Doubtful, but still.

          Good games and good devs need support. Platform holder decisions shouldn't hurt their cred.

            People forget it started as a PC game, too. Then Microsoft become the publisher a year or two later, it bacome a 360 & Vista exclusive like Halo 2, then eventually they dropped the PC version entirely. Remedy said the PC version was up to MS, but this was during the time when they were closing down PC studios left and right and they really seemed like they wanted nothing to do with PCs aside from the wonderful GFWL.

            Even if the game was a huge success on the 360, I doubt MS would approve a PC version.

              I couldn't say what they would and wouldn't do. That would be pure speculation.

                So why say if the game had a following maybe they could spend money on a PC release? Same exact speculation, I doubted my thoughts as well. It's fun to do!

                Now this is pure speculation: It's obvious to me they simply wanted another exclusive in their lineup, and with Remedy coming off the Max Payne series they were expecting a lot more interest.

                  I'm just giving my option and framing it as speculation saying we don't know anything for certain.

                  All good bro. No need to come at me.

        Its more likely to be made by Stephen King. The official European title is Alan Wake's The Dark Half.

        But American McGee's Alan Wake is an unwieldy title.

      Looks like some cross between 'The Dark Half' and 'Secret Window' :P

      Could be interesting though^^

      Sounds like bad fiction.
