It used to be that I could pick up any game at all and find something new and exciting, but over the years many of them seem to blend into each other. So it’s a real treat when I stumble across something that stands out. Akaneiro: Demon Hunters, Spicy Horse’s upcoming Asian fairy tale ARPG, stands out so brightly it might as well be spotlighted. With a crisp, hand drawn art style that is reminiscent of Okami, and an audio track that really brings out its Asian theme, it’s a beautifully crafted game that delights not only in its gameplay but in its presentation as well.
I was lucky enough to have a chance to corner American McGee, CEO of Spicy Horse Games, for more information about the game and a few questions about this lovely gem. Click the button below for the interview and a glimpse of the art that is delighting me so much."
Alice: Asylum, the anticipated third game in the Alice series, has been passed on by EA according to American McGee.
For anyone interested in seeing what the third Alice game (Asylum) could have looked like here is a link to the design bible that outlines the art, game-play, and story for the game in great detail. Such a shame.

I played Alice: Madness Returns for the first time last year and it blew away all my expectations. It's amazing, fun, weird, wonderous, and so much more. A very creative and unique game. It's devastating to hear we aren't getting another Alice game. If EA doesn't want to do another Alice game than sell the license to American McGee.
He tried that approach. They won't sell the license. They say Alice is an important part of their game catalogue. They refuse to actually make another game in the series but won't let anyone else do it. Ridiculous.
Shame. Both American Mcgee's Alice and Madness Returns were tremendous games with incredible art direction.
Does American McGee not have enough clout in the industry yet to start his own publishing house? Dude has been around since the early 90s, he worked on Doom II and Quake, AM Alice was a revelation when it came out, and he's had a few other modest hits as well. Does he really need EA?
Obviously not. His studio Spicey Horse was shut down and nowadays, he's been spending most of his time being an unapologetic CCP shill. How ironic for a guy whose first name is American.
He does not. That's all old news. Man was creative and deserves to run a studio. Alice was sublime.
American McGee shared a little intel about his plans for the next Alice game. However, that’s up to Electronic Arts, the publisher of his game, if they will push through with a new installment in the franchise.
After how bad EA screwed up the last one, I'd rather not see another unless the rights are purchased by a publisher with a soul
Sirus Gaming reports: A lot of fans were struck when American McGee cited that he will not be able to develop any sequels, remake, and/or spin-offs until Electronic Arts, the game's publisher, will give him the go-signal to do it.
However, that might change if American McGee's Kickstarter project, a table-top card game called Out of the Woods, will be a huge success.
Out of The Woods looks awesome. And quite cheap. I hope it helps McGee regain EA's interest. Alice: MR was a great adventure.
