One of the many reasons Telltale’s The Walking Dead Season 1 worked was its careful attention to characters. The series built up its cast of survivors just to put them into incredibly tense situations to make […]

Such a creative and positive influence on this industry. Nintendo won’t be the same without him and the industry owes a great debt to Iwata. May he rest in peace.

Batman: Arkham Knight has a lot of things going for it. The combat is as good as ever, the gliding is still intuitive and satisfying, and the story is a solid conclusion to Rocksteady’s trilogy. But there’s one […]

I would say Tyler is hardly in the minority. The Batmobile has been one of the major complaints against the game.
Most of his points are pretty valid.

The last Game of Thrones episode from Telltale, Sons of Winter, is very good. Like, very, very good.
It used each of its four main characters to construct tough decisions, made even harder with the developer’s […]

I think Sons of Winter is the best episode in Telltale’s Game of Thrones series so far. It was intense, it had a lot of tension and a great narrative line.
However, with each episode frustration grows in me as I see the game is full of issues. On Xbox 360 (and maybe on other platforms too) the sound begins before the image, sometimes I can hear only a couple of words from a character’s lines. And in this episode the chapter 1 achievement hasn’t not popped up when it should.
I am very dissapointed because these endless issues… But Telltale Games are lucky that I am a big fan of GoT and I will continue to play the game no matter how buggy it is.
