I bought this 3-in-1 mainly for Alice, as I'm a console gamer and have trouble finding computer games that even remotely resemble the sorts of games I play (I have no interest in space sims, or war sims, or trade sims, or civilization sims, or racing sims, or sports sims, or "The Sims", or RTS, Strategy/Sim, or FPS - in other words, computer games on the whole.)

Once I adjusted to the fact that, even with a gamepad, you still have to use a mouse for this wretched "mouse look" business that computer games love, I got to rather enjoying Alice. It's a good puzzle/action/platform game with slightly shoddy control, but this is acceptable considering the platform. The control doesn't get in the way of the action all that much, it's just awkward to let go of the gamepad and grab the mouse to aim. I'm still playing this game, and as I am enjoying it quite a bit. It's worth the price of the 3 pack.

Undying is a FPS. It's got a horror twist to it, but it's a FPS.
It's unremarkable, I played it the night I got it for about 20 minutes and I plan to give it another few minutes at some point in time. I got bored with the FPS concept after Doom2, and this is pretty much run of the mill. Not great, not bad, just inoffensive and bland.

Now on to BloodRayne. This trainwreck of a "game" is an atrocity. Not worth the price of the media it's printed on. The game is locked in some dreadful low resolution that resulted in my turning it off quite soon after turning it on. The story line and characters are absurd and not worth mentioning (Think Underworld meets Indiana Jones... I shudder at the mere thought). There's plenty of bad things written other places about this game, feel free to seek them out yourself. Bottom line on this one, mind-shatteringly inane and incomprehensibly worthless. Use as either frisbees or coasters.

On the whole this 3-in-1 game pack isn't a bad deal for 20 bucks. It boils down to 10 bucks per game, and a couple of free promotional BloodRayne coasters. Alice is worth the price of admission. Undying isn't my cup of tea exactly, but FPS fans will surely enjoy it (To put my opinion in perspective, I think that Unreal and Halo are utterly boring, so if you like those, you may very well like Undying more than I). BloodRayne is not worth further mention.

As for performance, I have a PB 1.33Ghz & 768 MB RAM running OS X 10.3.8, and I was able to run both games at extremely high resolutions, 32-bit color, and high texture detail with a very high frame rate. These games should run excellent on all modern Macs.

Aspyr did something VERY nice here...

I bought this pack to play Alice, since I couldn't find the stand-alone version. And for only 10 dollars, plus two other games, this was more than a deal.

The only problems I had were installing the games. I emailed Aspyr tech support and found that the games do work with OS 8.6 which is what I have even though the box itself and every site I've found has said 9.1 or higher. And this is true, Alice and Undying work very nicely on OS 8.6, with only a couple installing issues that can be fixed by visiting Aspyr's tech support site. Unfortunately, Bloodrayne is the only game that required OS X and I cannot play it. Still, I say 10 dollars for 2 excellent games is awesome, and it should not be over looked.

Aspyr's kind of unique in the fact that they never really discontinue anything, they just kind of group things together in compilations like this. Although the product was mislabeled, Aspyr was very nice in responding to my email and I'd recommend their products to anyone. Go play!
