An American (McGee) In Shanghai
4:30AM Brian Ashcraft | Like most stories, this starts with a girl. Rather, this starts with a boy chasing a girl — to Hong Kong. The boy wasn’t a boy, but developer American McGee. And the girl? More »
American McGee Tries, Tries Again
9:30PM Luke Plunkett | American McGee made Alice. Great game! Then he made a bunch of other games that weren’t so great, and the industry kinda moved on. Hopes were high for his latest project – Grimm – but the game’s neat premise and stylish visuals were let down by the fact it was bbooorrring. So hopes shouldn’t be anywhere near as high for his next project, BaiJiu Racer, a casual MMO racing game (think KartRider) he’s currently in the process of pitching. Basing his studio is China is obviously having an effect on the man, as he writes: More »

American McGee Is So Ready To Be Brain Chipped
10:00PM Brian Ashcraft | American McGee gained fame for his off-beat titles like American McGee’s Alice — that, and for his first name. Dude’s been around in the industry, first cutting his teeth over at id Software on games like DOOM. What does he think the next big thing is going to be? Says McGee: I think we’ll continue to see updated interface devices at the forefront of the mini-revolutions in the years to come. Ultimately, I think this is all heading to one uber-revolution in the shape of seamless computer-human interfaces, ala The Matrix. It’ll be great to get away from the dated keyboard/mouse, monitor, speakers way of interfacing with our content. As soon as someone starts offering trial “implant” testing — I’ll be first in line. I just hope I don’t crash my brain, it would take a lifetime to reinstall everything. And you just thought he made games and had a cool name. Ha!

3:20PM Flynn De Marco | American McGee’s Grimm has been somewhat of a mystery to me since it was announced. The concept sounded good, I mean anything based on Grimm’s fairy tales always catches my interest. I had been anxious to see exactly what it was going to be like and today I got my chance. It was certainly different than what I expected it might be and way more as well. As you may have heard, Grimm is going to be an episodic game, with new episodes appearing every week. Episodes will be free for the first 24 hours and from there you can either purchase them individually from GameTap.com/grimm or get them free via a gold GameTap subscription. Each episode will take on a different fairy tale (some well know and some not so well known) with the first being “The Boy Learns What Fear Is,” and others to follow including “Red Riding Hood” and “The Girl Without Hands.” More »
Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Alice
12:20AM Luke Plunkett | Sarah Michelle Gellar, for those who don’t know, holds the movie rights to American McGee’s Alice. And she’s held them for a while now. And has done absolutely nothing with them. But she might do something. Soon. Maybe. It’s still my project, and I’m still working diligently. So to all those Alice fans, I’m not giving up. Because I believe there is such a beautiful, crazy, cool, twisted story to be told there. And if Universal Pictures, who were originally going to bankroll the project, can’t pull their fingers out of their arses and tell it, she says she’ll write the thing herself.
