American McGee’s Alice: Madness Returns (2011)
Video Game Platforms: Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Release Date: Q4 2011
Description: Eleven years ago a horrific fire took Alice’s family from her and left her terribly burned—and her mind terribly scarred. Afterwards she was confined to Rutledge Asylum, struggling to come to terms with her demons by slipping into her fantasy world of Wonderland. Now, after ten years, she has finally secured her release–yet she still bears the heavy psychological burden of that tragic event.
In Alice: Madness Returns, Alice is released from the asylum to a London psychiatrist’s care. As nightmarish hallucinations continue to haunt her and invade her reality, she seeks to understand her torment in order to recover herself. Her mind in tatters, she is unable to resolve the fear and neuroses prompted by her strange memories, dreams, and visions. Her relocation to London seems only to add to their number and intensity.
Perhaps she’ll do better in Wonderland. She always has. She travels there, seeking what the “real” world can’t provide: security, knowledge, and the truth about the past. But in her absence, Wonderland too has suffered. Something has gone horribly wrong, and now a great evil is descending upon what once was her beautiful refuge.
Can Alice save Wonderland—and herself—from the madness that consumes them both?
Thoughts: A few of us here at Gores Truly are waiting in anticipation for the release of this game. The first game was stellar for its time and we’re hoping that the sequel can live up to its predecessor. Can’t wait to see more!

So. Excited.
I wish they would re-release game one for the 360. So I have something to play till game two
There are so many games I would love if they re-made for the new systems – not changing anything except possibly updating the graphics. I would definitely get the first Alice game if they put it out again for the 360.
