American McGee has revealed the next game being developed at his studio Spicy Horse, and to say it's a departure from his previous titles (Alice: Madness Returns) is a bit of an understatement. The game is called BigHead Bash, and it's a 2D, multiplayer, platform-shooter that infuses a virtual-world merchandising component. It's also not a traditional console or PC title, and is being made for Facebook and other social platforms.

I never expected to see a sequel to American McGee's Alice. It was a charming platformer that, in spite of its flaws, spoke to me. The imaginative reinterpretation of the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland pulled me in with its grim mood and macabre visuals. No wonder I was so enchanted by it--I was a teenager, and it spoke to my emo self.

Since Alice's release, a lot has changed. I've grown older--and so have games. Gone are the platformers that used to be so commonplace in that day. Its modern sequel, Alice: Madness Returns, doesn't stray far from its predecessor, though. It beckons me to return not only to the world of Wonderland, but to the era of 32-bit gaming as well.
