Walking Dead -- Telltale

Achievements: Excellent Writing, Memorable Characters, Tough Decisions


In a post-zombie-apocalypse world there are no easy decisions, and Telltale's cast of interestingly written and brilliantly performed characters face these gut-wrenching no-wins at every turn as they struggle to survive. While the tale of Lee Everett and Clementine might be headed toward an inevitable conclusion, like all the best stories, how you get there matters far more than the destination. The fate of those around Lee and Clem is entirely up to us. What happened to Kenny? How much blood do you have on your own hands? What has Clem seen? There hasn't been this much excitement surrounding an adventure game in years -- maybe decades -- and on top of being captivated by Telltale's tale-telling, we're thrilled to see this spin on the classic PC gaming style back in the spotlight.

Chief Criticisms: Can't change Lee's fate; actual gameplay and puzzles are simplistic.
