Very happy to hear this. Alan Wake is perhaps the most under appreciated game this generation. And up there on the list of most under appreciated ever. It has an interesting story, likeable characters, great gameplay, great graphics.
Slimebeast keep in mind that they are only making a game for XBLA as a stop gap. The rumours are that they are looking to develop Alan Wake 2 for next gen. I imagine they just wanted to use the engine and do something else this generation. While I'm sure they are disappointed that Alan Wake didn't become a mega blockbuster, the fact they are making an XBLA title isn't indicative of the game being a failure. The burnout franchise had one of it's best selling entries and then the next title was an XBLA one.
It is pretty good proof of those gamers who complain about wanting a horror game not actually wanting a horror game though. It is psychological horror but at the same time playing the game on hard or nightmare most definitely makes it survival horror too. Yet whenever the discussion about horror games comes up on forums almost no one has even played it.
