American McGee will be at GDC in order to pimp his new concept, Little Red Riding Hood. The famous game developer has released some artwork to give a flavor of his new project, and it's looking pretty damn tasty.
"[The artwork] depicts a scene from a game concept I'll be pitching at this year's GDC," explains American, whose name sounds ludicrous without the McGee part. "If we're lucky, an interested publisher will help us move it into production. It's an idea that [Spicy Horse art director] Ken Wong and I have been toying with for years."
Not enough games feature girls chopping the crap out of wolves, so I hope somebody bits at GDC and makes this a real thing. What about you? Is Little Red Riding Hood looking hot, or have you had enough ironic fairy tale gaming for now? All I know is that she's cutting a wolf's head off and that is OMG.

Is that....Cecil?
And what's this about Mcgee now? I thought that dude a couple years ago decided to live in China or something making a rickshaw racing game. Weird...
Sure, it's no Heavy Rain, but it's an interesting concept.
And something doesn't automatically become cliche just because it's been done before. Are war games cliche? Is Civ V cliche? How about space SHMUPs?
Besides, this story's kind of been done to death.
Also, that looks cool.
We shall see if this is worth checking out.
American McGee is, simply, a one game wonder.
Take Cinderella...one of the ugly sisters chop a bit of her foot to get it in the shoe XD
or the Snow White and The Seven Dwarves when they raped snow white...Wait. What!
lol I kid about that part, but the originals are dark!
besides that I can't wait to see this game :p
Bad Day L.A. and Scrapland. So, that sort of pokes a hole in your theory.
But he also was in charge of creating the levels in Doom, Doom 2, Quake, Quake 2, Final Doom, and cowrote Timeline.
@ all,
What's with all the hate on Mcgee? The guy is actually trying to give us something a little different and people like Chronic Logic say it's cliche? Of all the developers to call cliche... really hard to imagine this is one of them.
Maybe you don't know what the word cliche means?
Plus this is the guy that revisited Alice and despite what others thought I enjoyed the game and it's twisted take on it.
more to the point, who cares if "everybody's jumping on the bandwagon" you still enjoy a good burger when it's GOOD, right?
I LOVE Alice, one of my favorite games ever. But every other American McGee game is pretty much crap.
I can't speak for the game, but that's tasty art.
