Moving Pixels Podcast: The Grotesque Wonderland of ‘Alice: Madness Returns’

As a follow up to a game released over a decade ago, Alice: Madness Returns reimagines American McGee’s Wonderland mythos as well as the somewhat retrograde genre of the action platformer. This week the Moving Pixels podcast crew discusses Alice‘s imagery, mechanics, and overall presentation of insanity.
