UPDATE #1: Thank you to everyone who entered our competition. Lots of entries to
read through now, but we'll announce the winner shortly! :)
Today we have a rather exciting competition lined up! How would you like to win an Alan Wake's American Nightmare photograph signed by Fred Berman?
Fans of both the Alan Wake and Max Payne series will recognise his name; he voiced both Barry Wheeler and Vinnie Gognitti (MP2). Two of the community's favourite characters! Earlier this year he kindly signed some photographs for the site to be given away to Remedy fans in a competition.
The image above doesn't do the prize justice! The photograph is a piece of promotional artwork from Alan Wake's American Nightmare which has been professionally printed on glossy photo paper. The signature is by the extremely lovely Fred Berman and is completely authentic. It's a fantastic and rare piece of merchandise to own!
How to enter:
During E3, Sam Lake (Creative Director at Remedy) hinted that Quantum Break may contain references to the developer's previous titles. We've seen this in the past with the American Nightmare poster at the garage in the latest version of Death Rally, and The Sudden Stop manuscript pages in Alan Wake which mirrored the Max Payne series.
To enter, describe a situation which could appear in Quantum Break which references one or more of Remedy's previous titles.
An example of this could be:
During a level, the protagonist comes across a bookstore with a promotional standee for Wake's books.Or
On the wall, the player passes a series of old posters promoting Address Unknown.
Of course, I have no doubt that you can come up with something much more interesting and detailed. Have fun with the topic, go crazy! If you want to write a short story containing your entry, I'd love to read it!

2. This is open worldwide, but restrictions may apply on countries with limits on internet competitions.
3. No cash prize alternative will be available.
4. The Sudden Stop does not accept responsibility of the prize after shipping, though I will do my best to make sure it gets to you safely.
5. A new winner may be picked if the first does not respond to the email. Although this is only a last resort after three weeks with reminders and alternative methods of communication e.g. through social media posts.
6. A frame will not be supplied with the photo, but the prize will be shipped in a sturdy envelope with a cardboard backing
7. Please note that this is an unofficial competition. Remedy is not involved with the prize, arranging the contest or creating rules.
