New Alice: Madness Returns Screens Are Deliciously Dark

Alice: Madness Returns is shaping up to be a proper treat with its uniquely warped vision of Wonderland, transforming its cast of characters and environments into horrifying twisted creations, that'll likely give you nightmares. It's a good job Alice can grow to gargantuan proportions and stomp baddies then.

Five new screenshots have come out of GDC 2011, showing an enticing glimpse of the enemies you'll face off against with your big carving knife and other weapons (a hobby horse for instance), all inspired by Lewis Carroll's surreal literature. So, expect to see the Queen of Hearts and her army of playing cards, that big caterpillar fella, the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat and Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee among others. Some may be friends, some may be foes, but you'll soon find out which is which as you progress further down the rabbit hole.

Check out the new screens in the gallery and give the GDC 2011 trailer another watch, or watch it for the first time if you haven't already. American McGee's Alice: Madness Returns is due to release in June 2011.
