Alan Wake's American Nightmare is making an appearance at this year's CES and we have a video featuring gameplay footage from the show floor. Alan Wake's American Nightmare is being developed as a standalone game for the Xbox LIVE Arcade. It will also be available later this year with the release of the PC version of Alan Wake.

A specific relate date for the console version has not been announced, but it was revealed at CES that Alan Wake's American Nightmare will be part of the Xbox LIVE Arcade House Party, which starts on February 14th. Microsoft will release a new game every Wednesday for four straight weeks, and the new Alan Wake title is on the list.

"The main story mode in Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is part of the ‘Night Springs’ TV show fiction and offers an exaggerated pulp action adventure where the horrors of reality have the all too easy habit of coming true. Alan Wake finds himself stuck in an altered reality filled with dangerous shadows; he must leap into action and pursue his evil doppelganger, Mr. Scratch, across the Arizona mesa towards the town of Night Springs. Scratch, a supernatural serial killer, has his evil plans set on Wake’s wife, Alice. Wake must learn to control reality itself and unravel the secret to Mr. Scratch’s demise while using the power of light to put an end to the darkness."
