American McGee is a legend of interactive entertainment. He wrote and produced "Bad Day L.A.", the new XBOX video game that is a memorably macabre romp through the eccentricities of Los Angeles, with its violence and irony reflecting influences from South Park to Monty Python. He also created the dark new "Alice in Wonderland" film with Sarah Michell Gellar as Alice (sneak previews included here).

In this interview, American describes his life experience with games. He started at id Software across design, programming, music management, sound design and art crafting the 1st/3rd person shooter genre as it is known today. He contributed to titles including: "Doom," "Doom II," "Final Doom," "Ultimate Doom," "Quake", "Quake II,", and "Quake II Deathmatch Pack." In this interview, he describes what it was like to be involved in such well-known titles and what he has learned from his mentorship at the X|Media Lab in Singapore.

American's own company, the Mauretania Import and Export Company, acts as an IP creation house today, adapting his original stories into films, books and merchandise. American speaks frankly in this interview about everything from why his own name is so often included in his game titles to where he thinks American culture is headed in the 21st century - and his new work, a prequel to the Wizard of Oz with Jerry Bruckheimer.
