Alice The Madness Returns

Stills from 'Alice The Madness Returns'

Your weapons: a vorpal blade, a pepper-grinder gun, a teapot cannon, a hobbyhorse mace...

Your mission: to remember.

This game is one that I continue to go back to again and again... its a giant metaphor for memory and memorialisation. A big plus is how beautiful the graphics are. To gain points and move through the story you must piece together fragments of memory as wonderland falls apart due to Alice's mind falling apart. One of it's key features is that I don't feel alienated as a woman while I play it, nothing in the game play remind me that it hasn't been made with my gender in mind which is so rare in the gaming world.
