American Mcgee questions - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'm starting to play American McGee's "Alice" and while I have played it before I never truly got into it, this time I am falling deep into it and am enjoying it. But now I have questions....

Having done asearch for American McGee hasn't really told me much about him other than he has a twisted mind.

Does anyone know if his games "OZ" and "Grimm" came out? If so, where do I find them and are they as good as Alice?

Who is American McGee, is he still working "unofficially" with Enlight, to develop new franchise games?

Is Jerry Bruckheimer still going to produce his "Oz"?

What happened to the "Alice" movie?

I know he left EA because he felt EA just bought names (i.e. Harry potter, 007, Star Wars, etc) and wasn't being creative, so where is he producing games now?

I'd be interested in knowing more about him and his games, I thank anyone in advance for any info.

Well, I can't tell you about any of those games since I've never played them, but I have tried his Scrapland. I really tried to get into the game, but just couldn't. It wasn't very fun and even artistically I couldn't figure out what the point was. It was quite disappointing.

This might be a good place to start looking for answers.

He's an interesting man for sure, kind of a warped George Lucas, who has visions of mass producing his games into every kind of medium out there and yet he's doing it somewhat silently.

But I am amazed that other than Alice, I can't seem to find Grimm or OZ or Bad day in LA or any of his other games anywhere.

Considering Alice has sold over a million copies I would think he'd be in great demand to get games under his name out there.

I don't know about the other questions but I know that the Alice movie has now been greenlit and Sarah Michelle Gellar is going to be playing Alice.

Have you tried Scrapland yet?

Thats cheap over here but I am not too sure about it yet. Seen some pretty mixed reviews

If I remember correctly he was a designer for id Software and worked on Doom and Doom 2, maybe even into the first Quake.

the BAD DAY LA trailer looks cool...

I have only played Alice... it was a lot of fun... i'll have to look around for some of his other games...

Played Alice, because my ex-girlfriend got it(we were still going out at the time), she wasn't any good at it, but I was so I played it through and beat it, pretty messed up game, but really fun.

Alice is a really fun game to play through. Nice twist on the quake 3 engine, especially for 2000 or whenever it came out.
