Okay.... but why is it a downloadable game.... that really worries me.

Too bad it's download only!

That light looks incredibly unrealistic. And stupid.

THIS ISN'T THE SEQUEL! A lot of people seem worried about it being XBLA. It's a spin-off.

What a pretty flashlight

I had high hopes for the first game, but it felt like ten hours of forest level.....and with only 3 main type of enemies, it was just plain boring. Let's hope they spruce the excitement factor up a bit for this one

Considering we've known about this for a while, I find it funny how some are still unclear what this is. This, as the article mentions, is the rumored download only STANDALONE title, NOT THE SEQUEL. Whether it has to do with the main story is unknown but like the name suggests, it likely has to do with the Night Springs show you could watch in the game. Those worrying about the sequel being like this shouldn't. This will be a little something to tie us over until we hear of it, plus more Alan Wake is always a good thing.

I haven't had the time to really sit down and complete Alan Wake, but I love it, I would love a sequel or another Alan wake game :)

I enjoyed the first one a lot, though I couldn't escape the feeling that it would have been a much more popular game had it gone open world as the developers originally intended.

As for this downloadedable sequel / standalone title whatever it is, I wont be looking at it at all I am afraid. I only buy full retail packaged games.

Every once in a blue moon I don't mind spending MS points on bargain priced DLC for my packaged games, but I will never splurge out on a digital only download for a game, especially if its episodic.
