To join the highly secretive "Wonderland" club, each member had to cough up steep membership dues: 10,000 sexually explicit images of kids. Once inside, at the bottom of seven layers of electronic security, they had access to 750,000.

American McGee's Alice for the PC (EA Games; $50) uses the popular Quake game engine to pay tribute to the classic with spellbinding visuals, witty mind games and gore enough for even the Red Queen...
