Similar to the powerful effects of the Rage Box from American McGee’s Alice, the Hysteria power in Alice: Madness Returns infuses our hopeless heroine the power to destroy her psychological demons when all hope seems lost. It’s a way to pull her back from the brink of death, while pushing her enemies over it in spectacular fashion.
Save your hysterics for when Alice: Madness Returns comes calling on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on June 14. You’ll need them.

Yes, the source of Alice’s madness is the possession of a uterus!

This looks good, any word on a collector’s edition?
