McGee to bring Grimm to Gametap in two dozen pieces; Humpy Dumpty weeps photo

A few days ago, game designer American James McGee starting yapping on American McGee's personal blog about American McGee's secret project, a Gametap exclusive title, American McGee's Grimm.

The game, being developed as a series of action/adventure romps (consisting of 24 or more episodes), will take many cues from an older McGee (and arguably, only good) title, American McGee's Alice. McGee is all McGiddy about once again working with a "twisted fairy tale" universe; and he is just as excited to be working alongside R.J. Berg, Executive Producer and head writer on Alice. Berg will once again be taking on these roles for Grimm, and will not tolerate being called "Ice" around the office this time around.

Gametap continues its rein of awesomeness, with a growing library of deep, original content and sweet classics that you'll play two or three minutes a piece before falling asleep. But 24 episodes? Yikes. Unless those will be released as individual levels, I wouldn't be surprised if the project dies around episode 13. Not that I don't want American McGee's Grimm to succeed; I was a huge fan of Alice, and I look forward to seeing what American McGee has in store. 

Just make sure it's bloody and it gives my cats nightmares. All they do is lounge around the house all day and I'm sick of it.

American McGee has fallen off lately but these "twisted fairy tales" could be their saving grace again.

Oddly I came here to read this straight after ordering a copy of Jan Svankmajer's Alice on DVD.

I never did play American McGee's Alice but was always intrigued by it. Was it actually any good? And why does this guy feel the need to prefix his name to everything he does?

When that Bad Day LA game came out, it was like what 50 bucks?

I think like 2 weeks later I saw it at an EB for like 5 or 10 dollars. Oh how the, well, slightly might hath fallen.

Alice was a great game. I just hope Grimm lives up to our expectations. ^_^

And speaking of Alice, anyone have news on the movie version?

Gametap is US and Canada only. Did McGee forget there's a world beyond North America?

And yes, Alice was indeed a great game.

I think he lucked out with Alice- surprisingly good and edgy.

Otherwise, I think he's a complete idiot.

Alice was indeed great stuff... but Bad Day L.A. was an epic fail. I'm cautiously optimistic on this one.
