#Broken thing called anchors

Unfortunately, the correct links to the RSS and Atom files containing the content of my links blog are not properly reflected in my handcrafted templates that make up this website. I’m going to fix this.

#Return to Wonderland

I never thought it would actually happen, but was pleasantly surprised when I found out about American McGee’s plans to bring Alice back to life. Being one of my favorite games, Alice has everything it takes to classify as a good video game: compelling story telling — in fact, the game’s plot is an altered, macabre version of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland — no tedious levels, but funny and cynical dialogs and overall good graphics, all wrapped up in a modified Quake 3 game engine.

Alice 2

The original title was produced by Rogue Entertainment, which later went out of business. This time, however, the game is being developed by Spicy Horse, a Shanghai based game company founded by McGee.
