Retro Review: American McGee’s Alice

Retro Review: American McGee’s Alice


Alice in Wonderland is one of the most beloved children’s stories out there. However, the original stories by Lewis Carroll weren’t just aimed toward children. No, that would have been a waste, because what child (especially today’s breed) is going to be able to look past rabbits, pretty girls, and mirrors to see the darkness and ugliness that could hide underneath? Perhaps most people can’t see the macabre heart of Alice, but American McGee could. For this, I applaud him. American McGee’s Alice takes the classic tale and turns it on its head for a topsy-turvy, harrowing look at what goes on inside the mind of an Alice that’s too far gone down the rabbit hole to ever be saved…

The Console to Rule Them All is On Demand!


Every 5-6 years gamers are faced with the important decision of which next-gen console to buy.  This decision has always been particularly hard for me because my pockets weren’t necessarily the deepest and I would have to chose only one, leaving me with the horrifying feeling of missing out on some of the best titles exclusive to other consoles.  This feeling that I like to call “The Big 3 Oppression”, has kept me down since the latest generation of consoles were released a couple years back, but now, there is a sort of gleaming hope shining in the distance.  A Micro-Console that can stream games made for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac straight to my TV or extremely basic PC!

Since the beggining of time, T-Energy has kept the world of Ancaria alive.  The energy source shapes life itself and is the origin of all magick.  For a long span of time, the angelic Seraphim were the overseers of T-Energy, but eventually passed on their knowledge to the High Elves, who soon became the supreme race of Ancaria.

Before long, there were bickering between the High Elves about how the power would be distributed.  The bickering turned into heated disputes, and the disputes raged into an all out Civil War amongst the Elves.  With the highest power in an uproar, other people of the nation joined in the dissidence, fueling the war even more, but neither of them knew the distruction that was coming their way.

In the midst of the fighting, the T-Energy went out of control, destroying cities and entire regions, and mutating animals beyond recognition!  The war to control T-Energy soon becomes the war to regain order over it; the once protected source of life has now become the source of chaos and destruction, and Ancaria cries out for heroes to rise up to the challenge!
