Looking good. And it's an arcade game? Interested.

The only bad thing about it is that I won't be able to buy a boxed collector's edition.

Still. Buying it the second my Xbox responds to a marketplace update.

I've purchased it and played for about an hour. It hasn't gripped me as much as the first one has because I think the fascination with wtf is going on is now gone. But it's really more of the same but more intense action.
The first one was just so elegant in how it introduced the story and played around with your mind, which I am not experiencing in American Nightmare.
The good thing about being an arcade release is it may make its way onto a compilation release eventually like Trials | Limbo |Splosion Man.

By rights, Alan Wake's American Nightmare should be utterly underwhelming. The core game is changed not at all from its parent's lukewarm style, the story is thin and hackneyed, hell it even has live-action cutscenes. But somehow, the gameplay is challenging enough to keep you clicking that left mouse button and listening to that weird, not quite Rod Serling voice telling you to survive until morning just one more time.
