Sequel to American McGee's ALICE: MADNESS RETURNS Soon
I've noticed that one thing that isn't really discussed a whole lot on HorrorBid is horror video games. One video game in particular that has always been a fan favorite
is "American McGee's Alice" Its been somewhere near eleven years nce the first Alice game was released and finally the day has come that the brilliant game gets a sequel. Perhaps this paves the way for another Alice In Wonderland movie.
Return to madness in
"Alice: Madness Returns" on June 14th, 2011.
Madness Returns takes place eleven years after the events of its predecessor, the same amount of time between the two games' releases. Alice was released from Rutledge's Insane Asylum at the end of the original game, and now lives in Victorian London under the care of a psychiatrist, where the traumatic memories of her parents' deaths in a fire continue to haunt her. Although she seemed stable for a decade, she now begins to experience previously repressed memories that indicate that the fire which claimed her parents' lives (which in the original game was seen to have been caused by a cat knocking over an oil lamp near the fireplace) may not have been as accidental as she remembered; these memories will take the form of retcons to the existing back story. However, the stress caused by regaining these lost memories has caused her hallucinations and internal struggle to increase in severity, and she returns to Wonderland in hopes of security and comfort. Unfortunately, it has once again become warped by her growing insanity, and she must save its redents - and herself - from the evil that is taking over Wonderland and also embarks on finding the true cause of her family's mysterious deaths if she wishes to retain her precious sanity.
The trailer looks pleasantly dark and violent. The graphics could be better but what can you expect from EA Games? One pleasant bonus to this news is that anyone who pre-orders the game will receive a digital download for the games original soundtrack. Also, anyone who purchases Alice: Madness Returns – The Complete Collection for the PC from EAstore.com will receive both the newest release as well as the original. The game is being released on the PC,Xbox 360, and PS3 consoles.
