Up and coming

and eagerly awaited by my son and I: the sequel to American McGee’s Alice.

They’ve made three teasers, all of which are worth watching full screen. This one is gorgeous:

I’m hoping they bring back Chris Vrenna for the score, or someone of comparable quality. The teasers don’t give us much idea of the game play, but given the fact that the original (released in 2000) is still very playable, they’d have to work at it to ruin the game play.

But next up for me is Dragon Age 2. Shameful to buy the sequel when I never finished the first game, but it’s just too much fun to start new characters and work through each one’s origin story (they’re very different for different races, classes, etc.) Why, just the other day I sweet-talked an elf maiden into my bedroom. Then we heard a ruckus beyond the door and she stuuupidly said, “Oh, hey, I’ll go see who it is!”

Hmm . . . my romantic conquests usually don’t meet such gory ends.
