For those of you who remember American McGee's: Alice from over a decade ago, and happen to be a fan; i am sure you are already keeping up with the latest hype in the next installment of this very twisted and extremely mature vision of Alice in Wonderland, for those who do not; where the hell have you been??!
I just so happen to be a super core fan of the old fiction and poems by Lewis Carroll(Charles Lutwidge Dodgso), so if i start to come off as a gooey fan-girl; it can't be helped, because this next Alice game is MotherF$@#ing AMAZING.
Release Date: June 14th 2011 Platforms: PC / XBOX 360/ PS3
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 backstory.
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 residents - 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.

I've been playing the PC version and this game is VERY much worth the $50 price tag, considering that was the price for the collectors edition i feel like I've ripped EA games off somehow.
But the content is amazing, you'll spend hours upon hours in this game and you'll still be at the frinkin' beginning of the game, it's almost exhausting in a way,, but maybe that's because it's also a platform game, and in the true sense of it's name, this platform game is Haaaaaaaaaaard, even on the lowest difficulty setting you'll die a lot. :P
But all-in-all i don't foresee anyone being disappointed with this game.
