Why we like it

Alice: Madness Returnswill make you think of Alice in Wonderland in a whole new, messed-up way. The premise of the video game is that she returns from an extended asylum stay to a Wonderland that is less than wonderful. This is just the psychological thriller you need to get your blood pumping for Halloween, and the game is equipped with striking visuals and immersive sound.
