Game Trailer – Alice: Madness Returns

From EA and Spicy Horse, Alice: Madness Returns updates their story of Alice in Wonderland with a twisted and mentally ill Alice, 11 years after the original game, American McGee’s Alice.

Based solely on this trailer the images are dark and disturbing, and this game is definitely not for kids seeking out Disney fun and images. It’s also far more gruesome than Tim Burton’s movie, with blood, gore and violence aplenty. That said, for the appropriate player, the graphics are fantastic and true to the American McGee image of Alice in Wonderland.

Release date: June 14, 2011
Platform: Playstation3, XBox 360 and PC
Rated: Mature

Game Trailer – Child of Eden

Platform: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Release date: Xbox 360 ~ available now; PS3 ~ available on September 1, 2011
Rated: Everyone, 10+

Interesting fact: The newest project from renowned game designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi, it features a customized soundtrack that is scored by Mizuguchi’s band The Genki Rockets. The music was made specifically for the game and adapts as your experience progresses.

From Ubisoft and Q?, we have Child of Eden, a visually stunning game rail shooter game. More detailed game info from Gamespot.com on June 14, 2011:

It takes place centuries into the future, when mankind has ventured deep into space, and the internet has become a vault for human knowledge known as Eden. Deep within this system are the memories of the first child born in space, called Lumi; the trouble is that she’s under attack from a virus, so it’s your job to fend off the invasion. If you successfully “purify” the parasites, you awaken more of Lumi’s memories, and images of this young girl are used to great emotional effect as you come closer to waking her from her slumber.

Child of Eden is an on-rails shooter infused with some simple rhythm action elements. An onscreen cursor is used to attack enemies; blue for lock-on and pink for rapid-fire. The idea is to use the blue lock-on fire mode to highlight up to eight enemies at a time (known as an octa-lock) and then use the rapid-fire mode to shoot down enemy projectiles, as well as certain enemies (who are always coloured pink). Extra points are awarded for firing an octa-lock in time with the music, with “good” and “perfect” messages appearing onscreen to let you know when you’re doing it correctly. Finally, euphoria (a screen-clearing bomb, essentially) can be used to clear the screen of enemies if things become too hectic.
