Alan Wake

Alan Wake is a story-driven action game in the psychological thriller genre, developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Game Studios, released for the Xbox 360 video game console in 2010 and Microsoft Windows in early 2012. The plot follows bestselling thriller novel writer Alan Wake, as he uncovers the mystery behind his wife's disappearance while both are on vacation in the small town of Bright Falls in the U.S. state of Washington, where he experiences blackouts and visions of characters and ideas from his latest novel, which he cannot remember writing, coming to life. Darkness plays a significant role in the game, and the core combat gameplay of Alan Wake consists of "fighting with light". 

In its pacing and structure, Alan Wake is similar to a thriller television series, with episodes that include plot twists and cliffhangers. The game itself consists of six episodes, and the fiction is continued by two special episodes, titled "The Signal" and "The Writer", that were made available asdownloadable content (DLC) within the same year of the game's release. Together, they make the first season of a possibly longer story. Additionally, a six-episode live-action web series called Bright Falls acts as a prequel to the game, and a number of related books also expand upon the Alan Wakestory. 

Chiefly written by Sam Lake, Alan Wake took over five years to create; an unusually long development time in the game industry. The game received positive reviews from critics, and is often revered for its narrative, pacing, and atmosphere. Alan Wake has been awarded the first spot in Timemagazine's list of the top 10 video games of 2010. 

While no plans have been announced for a sequel (or "season two") for the game, it has been confirmed that a new Alan Wake title will be released on the Xbox Live Arcade service. The new game will be a full stand-alone title, but it is not a sequel or a DLC. The game was revealed at the Spike Video Game Awards on December 10, 2011. The first screenshot and a teaser trailer of the new game was released in November 2011. The official game trailer was released, where the new game was called Alan Wake's American Nightmare. 

On December 14, 2011, it was officially announced that the game would be released on PC in 2012.
