After a long seven months of teaser trailers, American McGee finally released the release date and some gameplay for his newest game "Alice: Madness Returns"!

The gameplay shows a very dark setting in a crumbled castle at first, then moves to a garden maze with lots of hidden dangers. To help her along the way, Alice has access to many weapons including a vorpal blade (kitchen knife), a pepper grinder to work like a machine gun, and a horse stick hammer. She can also double-jump, glide, and shrink at will to find hidden platforms. The Cheshire Cat comes back to guide Alice along the way.

All the trailers (including the fan-made trailer) are shown below. It will be released on June 14, 2011. Any thoughts?

Back in 2007, Techland announced "Dead Island," an open-world, first-person zombie game. This week, they released the first trailer for it. Despite the lack of gameplay footage, this game is shaping up to be a disturbing game.

Here's the trailer:

"Hero" Canceled by Midway Games

vgpastcast@gmail.com (Geoff Porter, Craig Tangren, Alex Sherman, Thomas Western) — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 23:49:00 +0000

This is a sad day for both gamers and Midway Games. Midway filed for bankruptcy back in 2009 and has just recently released a gameplay video of a really interesting game they were working on titled "Hero". It was going to be an open-world game where you could make your own hero with plenty of awesome powers. While watching the video, I got a Infamous-meets-Crackdown vibe from it.

Hey everyone, this is Geoff of the VGP. Just came to let y'all know I updated the episode section so it now links to the list of episodes as opposed to Google as well as updated the Highlight Reel with the newest episodes. We will hopefully have the stream up for games/podcast recording (this time for real). We finally figured out how to make the equipment work so expect some games later maybe this coming week. Hope you enjoy the podcast and forums :)

Getting Started August 16

We are now able to record video via a dvd recorder, and audio via audacity. ^_^

Recently I've been trying to see how to stream video, when we get a device that will allow us to plug the Gaming System into the computer, hopefully this would work. 8)

I've gotten two video's posted onto youtube, nothing is really great or big but we would have move when we finally get a introduction to place at the begging and possibly end of each video.

The Technical Update

vgpastcast@gmail.com (Geoff Porter, Craig Tangren, Alex Sherman, Thomas Western) — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 01:13:00 +0000

Hey everyone, lately the site or any news for VGPastCast hasn't been up in awhile. We are making a come back now no worries. Sherman has found a way to record video games in good quality with some sort of setup that I don't understand. It's pretty cool though and it works, so congrats for him. Geoff also found a way that day to use the set up for a ustream. The problem is we need some fancy cords to do it, which cost around $50 dollars I think.

An Update

vgpastcast@gmail.com (Geoff Porter, Craig Tangren, Alex Sherman, Thomas Western) — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 11:34:00 +0000

Hey everyone, this is Craig from VGPastCast. Sorry for not updating the site; I've been up in Canada hanging with family a lot. Geoff and Shrew recorded a podcast, which you can find here, you can also find the Official Facebook Group here. This whole Podcast Series has been well, a major work in progress. I know things haven't really kicked off yet. I've been up in Canada, so work kinda halted from there. We are not dead though and soon by the end of June everything will be good. Me, Geoff, and Shrew plan to do one or several E3 Specials, so that's something to look forward to. There will be a lot more to come when I get back from Canada in about a week. That's about all I've got to say, check back soon or join our newsletter to say informed.

Canada + Episode 1 + Episode 2

vgpastcast@gmail.com (Geoff Porter, Craig Tangren, Alex Sherman, Thomas Western) — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:38:00 +0000

Well hey, tomorrow I leave for Canada! I'm going up there to visit some family of mine for about 17 days. It's pretty exciting and I'll take pictures while up there. While I'm gone, -gulp- Geoff and Shrew are going to be working on the main site and recording the 2nd podcast. I won't be on this episode, although Geoff somehow is going to channel me in via text messages. I will be able to use the internet to check up on things, but probably not very much and late at night. So yeah, expect a podcast up June 10th I think it is.

June 3rd, 2010 - Site Fixed

vgpastcast@gmail.com (Geoff Porter, Craig Tangren, Alex Sherman, Thomas Western) — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 03:55:00 +0000

(Originally, the title was June 3rd - ~~Site Crash~~, but Geoff constantly said the site was broken, because of the title, so now the site is fixed, ok?)

Today I signed on to Yahoo and started talking to Eagletalon (Geoff). He said that the main site crashed, and it did. For some reason, the template I wasn't working properly. The navigation bar was missing buttons and the link for Facebook was non existent. So long story short, I spent about an hour getting a similar new template up, while Geoff repetitively told me the site was broken every few minutes. The site is now fixed and hopefully there won't be any more problems.

Welcome to the site of VGPastCast! I've been working a long time today and I finally think it's up and running. There are some major bugs I need fix, such as the Read More tab. Until I fix this, the site will have to do. You can find links to listen to the podcast, and a link to the forums. This site is only temporary until I have enough money to purchase a .com site. I will be updating this site regularly, so check back sometime tomorrow.
