February is fast approaching, bringing with Xbox Live’s ‘House Party’ promotion. Last years promotion featured a pretty hard hitting line-up and this year isn’t going to disappoint. We already knew the names of the titles that are headlining but today Major Nelson has revealed the exact release dates and pricing for each of the games.
Warp – February 15th
Warp is a quirky puzzle platformer from developers Trapdoor. The gameplay see’s you solving a variety of puzzles in a Portal-esque environment. Warp kicks off this years ‘House’ Party at a very reasonable 800 MSP.
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare – February 22nd
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is more of a reboot than an actual sequel to Remedy’s original game. This time we see the aptly named Alan Wake fighting an alternate version of himself named ‘Mr. Sparks’. Coming in the second week of the promotion this will set you back a very modest 1200 MSP.
Nexuiz – February 29th
Nexuiz is an arena based FPS from developers IllFonic. It’s an extremely fast paced and competitive game that could easily challenge the likes of established XBLA shooters like Monday Night Combat. This game takes the 3rd week of the promotion and carries an 800 MSP price tag.
I Am Alive – March 7th
It’s been a long journey but Ubisoft’s long awaited title I Am Alive is finally hitting consoles. This game, originall the project of Darkworks, is a survival game based in a city ravished by a cataclysmic event. Players must battle the elements, the environment and other survivors in an effort to find out what happened and re-establish contact with loved ones. This is a fitting end to the ‘House Party’ promotion and is well worth the 1200 MSP that it costs.
Only time will tell whether this year will top the fantastic games of previous years, but with these 4 titles lined up I have a strong feeling it just might be. Stick with us here at TGF for reviews on these games closer to their release!
Prices aren’t bad once ya figure the 800 msp kicker
For the amount of content that some of the games are bringing the prices are pretty good really.

I’m planning to throw a house party for my 16th birthday and i am really looking forward to the idea, but i need an excuse to get my parents out the house for 48hours so i can have my party.
Any suggestions ?
My son is turning 9 soon so I need birthday gift for him. I’ve listed down some PC and 360 games he’ll definitely like, but which of the following will he enjoy the most?
PC Games (I need 1):
->Crysis 2
->Total War: Shogun 2
->Dead Space 2
->Alan Wake’s American Nightmare
->Street Fighter X Tekken
->Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
360 Games (I need 3):
->Fallout 3
->Halo: Reach
->Crysis 2
->Gears of War 3
->Grand Theft Auto IV
->Dead Space 2
->Red Dead Redemption
->Street Fighter X Tekken
->Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
->BioShock 2
He already has Skyrim, MW3, Battlefield 3, Space Marine, Arkham City, and Mass Effect 3. Thanks in advance!
He read Watchmen and V for Vendetta completely when he was 6, and finished both GTA: San Andreas and the first Dead Space the previous year (2011). If he can take things like that at such an age then I’m very sure he can take those games. Like Connor said, “As long as he understands right from wrong, I don’t see the harm in it.”
Here’s mine!
10. Medal of Honor Warfighter (PC/360/PS3/WiiU) 10/23
9. Sniper Elite V2 (PC/PS3/360) 5/4
8. Alan Wake’s American Nightmare (XBLA) Out
7. Assassin’s Creed 3 (PS3/360/WiiU/PC) 10/30
6. BioShock: Infinite (PC/PS3/360) 10/16
5. Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 (PC/PS3/360) Q3
4. Quantum Conundrum (PC/XBLA/PSN) Summer
3. Overstrike (PS3/360) Summer
2. Inversion (PC/PS3/360) 6/5
1. Halo 4 (360) 11/6
Hey so I was wondering, if I could purchase games of the Xbox Live Arcade with a Silver membership. I am looking into buying the upcoming Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. So do I have to upgrade to Gold memberships to make purchases and play games off the Xbox Live Arcade? All answers are appreciated and a thank you in advance
Alrighty, so the Xbox house party is going on and two games are coming up that I am VERY excited for, except I can only get one of them. One is Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, which looks pretty freaking awesome, and Nexuiz, a remake of an old Arena game. Any ideas?
The current steam flash sale is the ‘Alan Wake’ franchise, and i am interested in American Nightmare, however i am not sure wether my rig can run it, even on the lowest settings. (Please note it’s a laptop)
My rig is the following :
Intel Core2Duo @2.0GHz
Nvidea GeForce 9600m GT
4GB RAM
I also have a big screen resolution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thats what i thought, but it really bugged me that steam didnt include any precise data considering the graphics card.
but thank you for your answer!
is it only for download?
or also they have it on disc?
where can i download it/buy it online ?
