Yesterday’s announcement by EA CEO John Riccitiello that a sequel to American McGee’s Alice, a delightfully twisted cult classic from back in 2000, was in the works could not have come at a  better time. It has been far to long since we had the chance to run through a dark, twisted version of a famous childhood story, reveling in the insanity of it all the while.

This time around, Alice won’t be the only Fairy Tale celebrity to go mad and pick up a blade. Alice: Through The Shattered-Glass will bring dozens of famous storybook characters together, as the nightmare that is Wonderland spreads its dark tendrils into all the once innocent tales of our youth.

Find out what Alice: Through The Shattered-Glass has in store after the jump!

Once again players can travel with the Alice and the darkly fabulous Cheshire Cat on their journey through the macabre world of Wonderland. While the game will of course have all the eerie artistic touches and wicked powers (demon Alice ftw!) of the first game, it’s the addition of numerous characters from other Fairy Tale greats that make this a sequel to keep an eye on.

The decadently evil world of Wonderland has spread across all the lands of make believe, allowing Alice to interact and shape famous Tale’s in her own, special,  “blood makes me happy” fashion.

Ever wanted to kill the wicked Stepsisters from Cinderella? Or better yet, join forces with them to kick Cinderella’s ass and steal her glass slippers (freaking clown shoes!) for a humiliating game of keep away? Well now you can!

Have you dreamed of  bitch slapping Little Red Riding Hood for being to stupid to realize she’s talking to a huge wolf in an apron? Or just stealing her basket of goodies? How about teaming up with the Wolf to hunt the most dangerous prey of all? Hell you can hunt them both down and end the day with a well deserved picnic. I hear there’s s’mores in that basket!

You can travel to the beautiful castle from Beauty and the Beast, kill the Beast, make him into a throw rug, and then laugh as you order all the living furniture to terrorize Belle by screaming “ewww you kissed a werewolf!” and “are you gonna have puppies now?!”

Of course Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Belle and the Beast won’t be taken down without a fight. All of the famous characters will dish out bloody mayhem with abandon using everything from a Pumpkin Carriage with a glass shooting Gatling Gun to the power to turn from a naive Red Cloaked little girl into something out of the last Underworld film.

Rumpelstiltskin, The Three Billy Goats Gruff,  Mother Goose, The Wizard of Oz  and many, many more await players in the most twisted and disturbed game of its kind ever made. Finally I can get my revenge on the troll from The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Make me scared of bridges for over twenty years will ya? Get ready to bleed you SOB!

No release date has been set yet but Alice: Through The Shattered Glass is expected to come out some time in 2010 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox360. It’s too bad Alice is not a real live woman. She has all the hallmarks of a future Ex-Mrs. PMPB.
