"The time has come," Player 1 said, "to talk of many things..."
Back in 2000, the PC gaming community was blessed with the wonderful game: American McGee's Alice. Those of you who played this amazing game no doubt remember how much fun this dark twist on the original Alice in Wonderland was. It took the story on a twisted new path that ended up being pretty profound, psychologically speaking. Just a few months ago, it was announced that on June 14 of this year, well over 10 years since the release of the first game, the long anticipated sequel would be released.
The story is said to be a continuation of Alice's struggle with her troubled psyche. Wonderland has once again been corrupted by the tragic events of her eleventh birthday that still plague her. Whether her psyche has once again manifested itself as the Red Queen for the game's antagonist is still unknown, though I have a feeling that American McGee has other things in mind. One thing that is for sure is that there will everyone's favorite emaciated cat will be making an appearance. On another note, American McGee has also promised a couple of other incentives to go out and grab the game...
Thats right! Along with a copy of the new soundtrack, everyone who buys a copy of Madness Returns (whether on the Xbox 360, PS3 or the PC) will also receive a free copy of the first game! I, for one, am stoked. Old fans of the game will be able to play through a lovely remastered edition in order to brush up on the storyline. This is also a great chance for those who are new to the series to start from the beginning, as new copies of the original game have been nearly impossible to get a hold of for a reasonable price during the last half a decade.
What do you guys think? Are you just as excited as I am? Why is a raven like a writing desk? Let me know in the comments below!
