I started playing both Alice and Madness returns, and I must say that both are really fun indeed. This isn't really a review, but rather just my thoughts so far on the games.

Both are really creepy and eerily beautiful, especially Madness Returns. I really like McGee's vision of wonderland and how he put it into the games. The games change wonderland from a curious, happy place to a nightmarish hell. I like how he used the change of wonderland for Alice's own psych. From her happy childhood, to her now cynical, twisted mind caused by the death of her parents.
Alice: Madness returns is really interesting and a definite pick-up. Mainly for 2 reasons.

1. It's a creepy freaking Wonderland!
2. You get the download-code for the original Alice. (Basically you're buying 2 awesome games for the price of one)
I highly recommend that everyone check this out. Don;t even wait for it to hit the bargain bin, get it now :P
