Madness through a looking glass
By Todd Kenreck

With a Cheshire Cat, a Mad Hatter and playing cards with sharpened scythes, game developer American McGee asks us to follow him down the rabbit hole once more. "Alice: Madness Returns" is the long-awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed and cult classic "American McGee's Alice" and it's another dark descent into Wonderland.

The first game published in 2000 wasn't a retelling of "Alice in Wonderland" the book; instead, it functioned as a sequel to the Lewis Carroll stories. In this game Alice was haunted by the death of her family in a fire. Alice is committed to Rutledge Asylum and finds herself sinking into Wonderland once again. This time the world has been twisted by her inner torment and the kingdom is now ruled by the Red Queen. Alice escapes Wonderland and regains her sanity, leaving the asylum behind.

Eleven years after the events of the first game, Alice is living in London, but something is pulling her back to Wonderland. In an interview with msnbc.com's In-Game, American McGee fills us in.
