The return to Steam is met with a massive sale that drops the price to just $3 (USD). Even if you aren't a huge fan of the genre, you kind of shouldn't pass this up for just 3 bucks. I largely didn't like Alan Wake but even I'm telling you it's a steal at $3.
This sale price won't last forever though. You have until November 1 to pick Alan Wake on Steam for $3. You can also just pick up the Alan Wake Collector's Edition for $4. Or if you want to be a real big spender, you can get the Alan Wake franchise for a massive total of $5. The franchise pack includes Alan Wake, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, and all of the Collector's Edition extras like developer commentary videos, an illustrated PDF book, and the game's soundtrack.
ABOUT THIS GAME
When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love.
Presented in the style of a TV series, Alan Wake features the trademark Remedy storytelling and pulse-pounding action sequences. As players dive deeper and deeper into the mystery, they’ll face overwhelming odds, plot twists, and cliffhangers. It’s only by mastering the Fight With Light combat mechanic that they can stay one step ahead of the darkness that spreads across Bright Falls.
With the body of an action game and the mind of a psychological thriller, Alan Wake’s intense atmosphere, deep and multilayered story, and exceptionally tense combat sequences provide players with an entertaining and original gaming experience.

As for the return to the Xbox Marketplace? Well, that's apparently happening "very soon." I imagine we'll see it some time next week.
I love Alan Wake.
