Alan Wake's American Nightmare spotted

New name for XBLA Night Springs?

The German video games rating board has leaked the title of a new Alan Wake game: Alan Wake's American Nightmare.

It's listed as an action-adventure game for the Xbox 360 and received a 16+ rating, reports Siliconera.

Is American Nightmare the upcoming Alan Wake game for Xbox Live Arcade?
