Holy shit, I'm excited as all hell about this:
Alice: Madness Returns
Anyone here ever play the original "American McGee's Alice"? That game, for me anyway, was an fun, acid-like-trip through Wonderland after things have gone really mad. Evil in fact. I was hoping one day McGee would do a sequel, and it looks like it's going to happen in conjunction w/EA. WOOT!!!!
From the official website:
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?
The best thing about the original game was the Cheshire cat. Talk about an evil looking and sounding little bastard. Sucker sounded like Hannibal Lecter in mangy feline form. 
"Only the insane equates pain with success, Alice."
