I'm looking to try out alan wake but am pretty confused with all the retail/arcade editions. I tried googling it but can't seem to find proper keywords. :(
Xbox 360
Platform »
The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
Where to start Alan Wake?
Just buy the original Alan Wake game. "The Signal" and "The Writer" are both DLC packs for that game. American Nightmare is an XBLA game.
@ogred: Not sure if you ever bought it but you can get the download code for it on Ebay for pretty cheap. I enjoyed it but I don't know if the story will ever get completed.
I don't want to attempt to play moderator here but you probably should have posted this on the Alan Wake or the American Nightmare forum.
I own both the games on steam but have not got around to playing them yet but it seems to best way to go is just to play them in the order they were released.
EDIT: oops did not see this thread was 2 months old.
In the chronological order from both release and plot development:
- Alan Wake
- Alan Wake: The Signal (DLC for Alan Wake)
- Alan Wake: The Writer (DLC for Alan Wake)
- Alan Wake: American Nightmare
Although if you don't want to spend money in DLC, you can just skip the two DLCs as there isn't any significant plot development there, mostly background stuff, and they are mostly about gameplay.
