Alice: Madness Returns is due to be released this month (expected June 16th) on the PS3 and Xbox 360., It is the sequel to the game Alice which came out on the PC back in 2000.
The original book 'Alice's Adventures In wonderland, by Lewis Carroll was written 146 years ago in 1865 and today the stories have been retold, edited, dramatised, taken to Hollywood and made into games (if only Lewis had realised what loved characters Alice and her friends would become).
Anyway back to the latest news:
On April 20, 2011, Electronic Arts confirmed reports that new copies of Alice: Madness Returns on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 will contain a one-time-use download code for a copy of the original American McGee's Alice, for their console. Those who do not have the code can purchase the game through Madness Returns' main menu on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network. However, the Alice: Madness Returns game disc will be required in order to access American McGee's Alice.
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. 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.
Below are some screen shots to get you in the mood to return to Wonderland yourself and help Alice save herself from her own imagination/ world.
