So I'm finally back from Los Angeles, recovering from E3, and working my way through American McGee's Alice Madness Returns. It's out today, and while I figured I'd be done with it by now, this is a game that features some of the longest stretches of single chapters that I've ever played. That's not entirely a bad thing, as I'll get into when my review goes live.
While you wait for my verdict, I figured I'd share something I came across today while exploring Wonderland. Buried in a hidden hole (along with one of Alice's collectible in-game memories) was a skeleton that looked awfully familiar... is that Razputin "Raz" Aquato from Double Fine's Psychonauts? It's hard to tell with his skin off and all, but the likeness is hard to deny.
So about that Psychonauts sequel... I sure would like to see Raz with some meat on his bones, Double Fine.

Wait, does this mean EA will be publishing Psychonauts 2 and Brütal Legend 2?
Please.
Its really sad when so much talent doesn't get realized by the world.
That said though, I kind of like to think Double Fine just won't do Sequel's period. I know that's a broad assumption/speculation that's more or less baseless, but I like to think that while they'd surely love a series that they can milk to bring in cash to fund other projects, they're integrity for their stories and characters would probably be more important, so they just wouldn't sequel up on something just because, taking a high road and making a game that stands on its own perfectly well.
I also would like to see a psychonauts sequel. I love that game a lot. Need more awesome characters and stories like that.
I think Brutal Legend could do with one as well. I think it almost needs one.
I'd like to believe that Double Fine is making enough money from their downloadable titles to warrant making a Psychonauts or BL sequel possible.
maybe.. ; - ;
Also excited to star playing Alice tonight!
Like how those Sega Superstars/All Stars games includes a Jet Set Radio character and we all get punched in the gut as a reminder that we'll never get a Jet Set Radio 3?
....
I'd do anything for a Jet Set Radio 3.
SO excited.
and he died.
Well I have closure! No need for a sequel :D
