    Alan Wake's American Nightmare

    Game » consists of 2 releases. Released Feb 22, 2012

    A spin-off of the 2010 supernatural-horror game Alan Wake, with a heavier focus on combat and a less melancholic tone. Set in a rural desert town, the Champion of Light must do what he can to foil the plans of his evil doppelgänger.

    Let's talk music.

    Specifically, does anyone know if there's going to be a Poets of the Fall song somewhere in this, continuing the trend started in Max Payne 2 (is twice a trend?).

    Really loved "Late Goodbye", and "War" was perfectly placed in Alan Wake.

    'The Happy Song' is in the trailers and will be somewhere in American Nightmare ("The say that I'm a psycho, psycho, psycho"). Additionally, they again perform under the monikor 'Old Gods of Asgard' for the track 'Balance Slays The Demon' - see the video for that one here.

    @DarkFury: Alright! I know they do the Old Gods of Asgard stuff, but I prefer it when their actual works get slipped into the game. It was actually super weird hearing them belt out the plot of the game in the form of song in Alan Wake.

    Still, just glad to see them in it, especially for what I'd written off as such a minor release.

    @AndrewB: POTF and Remedy are like peas in a pod, but yes I'm glad too. New album will be out end of March.

    I actually really liked the song "Club Foot" by Kasabian that they licensed for this game (oil derrick song). Remedy always seems to pick some great songs. Though when "The Happy Song" played during the game I ended up killing the guys so fast that I heard maybe 10 seconds of the song. I wish there were a couple waves to that encounter or something to lengthen it.
