Our Man Tyler

“Captive Audience” doesn’t cover it.

It’s always exciting at this time of year as we watch the fun unfold at 2008’s E3. I mentioned a couple of days ago that Grimm was mentioned as part of the gallery of awesome art work in the In the Pixel exhibition, but now we’re once again having one [...]

In the Pixel, it’s the Bomb

he haz a sad

If you remember the Ars Technica article from June 13th, you’ll remember that they loved our artwork. In fact, one of the things that is setting Grimm apart from most other games is its uniquely stylized presentation. “It’s the Unreal 3 Engine, but you’d never know it from the style…” [...]

Gamasutra Talks to Rick Sanchez

Mmmm… burgers…

Gamasutra has a great line in their description of Grimm, and it’s one I wish I’d written myself (it’s so cute):
“… In between those tellings is an unexpectedly gameplay-driven experience that is reminiscent of Katamari Damacy in its dynamic - except, instead of rolling a ball around, you are (apparently) peeing on things and [...]

Two New Mentions

Squiggy-squiggy-squiggy…

The media response (as we’ve mentioned before) has been enormously positive, and as we inch closer and closer to the release date, we’re bound to see more stories hitting the wires. Try to visit these awesome folks to let THEM know that you’re interested in the game, too, and they’ll be much more inclined [...]

Kotaku: Grimm’s “Clever, fun, twisted”

Kotaku says: Grimm has a great, simple graphical style but don’t let that make you think it’s a game for kids. This is a very twisted world and the game will have an M rating. The humor is quite black and may have some players scratching their heads but those of you with a sick sense of humor will absolutely love it.

2404 - Grimm Interview

Recently I did an interview with Gareth Von Kallenbach over at “2404 - PC Gaming”. We talked about Grimm’s game play, challenges faced during development, and the episodic model production and distribution model.

American McGee’s Alice - Film Interview

I first met Scott Faye while Alice was in development. He was on his way to a meeting at EA when he caught sight of Alice concept artwork. Scott instantly fell in love with the project and has since worked tirelessly to bring it to the big screen. What follows is an email interview I conducted with Scott where he answers questions about his journey on this project.

Jeff Cork over at GameInformer has a nice preview of Grimm along with a quick Q&A session where myself and Ken Wong answer a few questions. A preview of the preview article:

Destructiod: Grimm has “delightful” Intro Song

Destructoid says: “I might not be the biggest American McGee fan, but I can never pass up a good videogame intro song. Needless to say, the opening number for American McGee’s Grimm does not fail on that front.” Check out the article, and the song HERE.

Grimm Up(chucks) on Console

Grimm “on” the PS3

Grimm’s making #3 on the PS3! It’s a sign of affection, trust me. You really don’t want to know how he displays his love towards the 360. Regardless of how he’s expressing his feelings towards either platform, we’re excited to announce that he is in fact playable on both.
I make [...]
