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.

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.
