GameTap Launches American McGee’s Grimm

1:20AM August 1, 2008 | Mike Fahey

GameTap has just launched the first chapter of the first volume of American McGee’s Grimm, the twisted fairy tale adventure series from America’s most similarly-named developer. The first episode is called “A Boy Learns What Fear Is”, which in the context of twisted fairy tales gives me chills just thinking about it.

“The opportunity to work with GameTap to develop truly unique content in this new episodic format has been a dream come true,” said American McGee, creative director and founder of Spicy Horse Games. “Grimm is a fairy tale adventure that incorporates innovative, mainstream play mechanics with classic elements such as platforming, power-ups, easter-eggs, and more. Grimm offers something for the cranky dwarf in all of us.”

The first installment is available to play now for free via GameTap, while the remaining episodes will be free for the first 24 hours as well as available for purchase at $US 3.99 a piece. Remember, if it says American McGee in the title, you know it’s…most likely a video game of some sort.
