American McGee announces next 'twisted tale' project after Grimm
We're not sure what it is about American McGee that makes him so fascinated about putting dark spins on Western tales. The former id Software developer and Electronic Arts' consultant found his niche in 2000 with Alice, though since that release he's done little to make us believe that his name sl...
Grimm starts next spring on GameTap
The fractured fairy tale of American McGee's Grimm starts next spring on GameTap.

Today in Joystiq: May 29, 2007
A gigantic statue of American McGee's interpretation of the Cheshire Cat?

We used to have one guarding Joystiq HQ, but one day he vanished and never re...
Grimm news for GameTap and American McGee
Oh American, you so crazy. You went and let it slip that your game Grimm was going to be distributed by GameTap. Now, we weren't there to see you talking about this on your blog, but Gamasutra saw.

Weekly Webcomic Wrapup: tardy edition [update 2]
Oh, look at the time. The webcomic branch of Joystiq HQ is running a bit behind today, so pardon our sloth behavior and enjoy the selection we've picked today. Don't like the white rabbit? Well, we don't think he likes you either. Just look at his pixelated eyeballs staring you down, and those two f...
Has American McGee earned the right to present anything?
Gamasutra's running an interview with game designer American McGee. The man's name is a marketing tool in its own right. McGee recognizes it saying, "Certainly it helps in branding the games. With today's game market, building proper awareness is as important as building a good game." So, what does ...
