Shortly after her second adventure, Through the Looking-Glass, Alice's house is burnt down by an accidental fire, killing her family and leaving her as the only survivor. As time progresses Alice loses touch with reality. She is institutionalized in Rutledge Asylum, where she is observed and treated by Dr. Heironymous Wilson. Alice's only possession in Rutledge is a stuffed rabbit. Ten years after Alice was committed to Rutledge, she finds herself sucked back into a Wonderland that has been twisted by her own broken mind. The White Rabbit summons Alice to aid a radically altered Wonderland, which became a twisted version of itself as it came under the horrible rule of the Queen of Hearts. The Cheshire Cat serves as Alice's companion throughout the game, frequently appearing to guide her with cryptic comments.

I LOVE this game. I can totally relate to Alice, as there are those days...those days when we have a inner Alice demanding to run amok and this game allows us to go wild. The artwork is interesting, the gameplay engaging, and Alice the knife wielding adventurer!

Still have the original game on disk and it is one of, if not, the most memorable games I played in the 2000's. It has a beatifully deranged graphical design and a haunting soundtrack that made me play this game many a times during that decade.

Classic psycho, it's better in the dark, alone and angry, hahaha, just kidding, the reality is that it's a great mind-blowing game, it has become a cult game, oddly enough it reminds me of the movie sucker punch, don't pay too much attention to that comment, it just reminds me of it and that's it.

This game is audiovisual insanity and its a testament to the vision of American McGee and his team that they managed to make it as coherent as could be. I played this long after its release (I was like 7 when this game came out, sue me) but it (and its sequel) stuck in my brain to this day. EA literally won't let you give them money for this game, they seem to be attempting to bury the franchise as deep as they can, and the proposed 3rd game is dead in the water after some IP nonsense, and it deserves another should.

I am lucky enough to have a copy, but to officially own it digitally would be most enjoyable. I saw my dad play it when I was little, and while I can technically already play it, I'd prefer a more convenient/reliable means!

I first played this, honestly last year on the Xbox 360, and I fell in love with its atmosphere. The games Atmosphere ALONE is deserving on it being preserved, but it also has a fun and creative story, with an cool twist on Alice in Wonderland (sure beats the Tim Burton version which went for something similar)

My maternal grandmother owned this game, whenever I'd visit we'd play a little of it together, at the time I didn't understand any of the deeper stuff but I remember it being a fun game.

Bought it for $7.99 - $9.99 at Best Buy circa 2001, maybe 2002, on a whim because it was in the Sunday ads on sale. I loaded it up early Friday night after purchasing it and by early Sunday morning I beat the game, I just didn't want to stop playing. I don't think I did much but sleep, eat, drink, and play for 2 days straight. Fond memory.

One day, i tried to make it work. It was a nightmare, pirated copy on a shady website, controller was not recognized and the game crashed. I gladly pay for it to make it work smoother.

This was a fantastic game, platforming is actually not bad, story is a little dark at times, great writing overall and the gameplay is shockingly decent considering the engine it's done in. More people deserve to play this so they can start rolling demon dice and getting the horrid level 1 demon over and over and feel my pain, it's still fun though.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
