Downtrodden horror author Alan Wake stars in the latest Humble Weekly Sale, which offers up downloadable Windows versions of Remedy's third-person shooter Alan Wake and its follow-up American Nightmare for a buyer-chosen price (minimum $1). Bundle buyers will receive DRM-free downloads of Alan Wake: Collector's Edition and Alan Wake's American Nightmare, along with Steam keys for both games. The package features a bevy of bonus material, including digital comic books, a playthrough video, and standalone episodes of the Remedy-produced "Night Springs" fictional television series - new episodes of which Joystiq debuted last year. Xbox Live hosts its own Alan Wake series sale this week. Through May 29, the Xbox 360 Games on Demand version of Alan Wake is priced at 400 Microsoft points ($5), while the Xbox Live Arcade follow-up American Nightmare is a dollar cheaper at 320 points. Alan Wake DLC and avatar items are also on sale through next week. In the announcement video above, Remedy's Sam Lake (who you might recognize as Max Payne's face model) reveals that the Alan Wake series has sold over three million units to date, and addresses fan reaction to the company's decision to develop the upcoming Xbox One-exclusive title Quantum Break, rather than an Alan Wake sequel. "We definitely want to keep on working on Alan Wake," Lake assures. "I definitely want to create something new for Alan Wake, when the time is right."Alan Wake series featured in Humble Weekly Sale originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 22 May 2013 19:30:00 EST.

SOCOM and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City developer Slant Six Games was reportedly working on a Medal of Honor game for the PlayStation Vita. Artist Alex Carigi, who worked at Slant Six between 2006 and 2009, has shown character design work for the title featuring soldier designs.Carigi's portfolio (via Polygon) had concept art that showed the Slant Six and Vita logos, but that appears to have been removed. No word was given on why the project didn't move ahead, and it could merely be a pitch that was never adopted. We do know that sluggish sales for the Vita have made some publishers wary, however.EA has taken the Medal of Honor series out of rotation after the poor reception to Warfighter.

Altered Beast is about to wise fwom its gwave on 3DS. Sega has announced that Altered Beast 3D will arrive on the eShop next week in Japan, bringing with it several new features, according to Tiny Cartridge. Like the Japanese eShop re-release of Sonic the Hedgehog, Altered Beast 3D will include both the Japanese and western versions of the game, button remapping and an optional mode that emulates CRT monitors. None of Sega's 3DS re-releases have been confirmed for a North American release, including Space Harrier, Super Hang-On, Sonic the Hedgehog and, now, Altered Beast. Tiny Cartridge does note, however, that Space Harrier was recently confirmed for Europe, so there may be hope the game will be added to North America's growing Sega eShop library.Altered Beast 3D coming to eShop in Japan originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 22 May 2013 20:00:00 EST.
