Any of you played American McGees Alice or its sequel Alice Madness Returns? There are some very good flesh-taking-over-structures levels in those games.

Never, but I heard of it before actually. Is it a good game?

They're very good games. A tim burton inspired take on Alice in Wonderland, but actually dark and gory unlike Tim's disney movie. The first game is a little clunky to play now due to its age, but it's very similar to Tomb Raider in its level design.

Hmm, interesting. I might give it a try, thanks!

I've seen clips of Madness Returns on YouTube and I would love to play it. I've never been crazy into Alice in Wonderland as a franchise but the art style on that game really is something else. I love how dark and horrific the game is but without losing the charming cartoony style.

I still think TRA still did a good job of making the dinos seem violent (in the interactive cutscene at least). Hell I tend to find the t-rex ripping Lara's head off her body while she struggles to be equally if not more disturbing than picking her up and thrashing her to the ground. Also, I would argue that while Atlantis wasn't as repulsive as TR1's fleshy, pulsating textures, I think TRA took a slightly different route that was more ominous and regal over repugnant. Both were great in their own ways.

Truthfully, every time I play Anniversary, when the T. rex appears, I greet it by muttering "Hello, Barney!" to myself.

There must be a mod to make it purple...

A very cute dinosaur indeed

But.....I and I bet others would love to know how Alex Fly who made the video, by managing to shrink the T-rex model, or was it just a game glitch fluke ....
