Game of Thrones: Episode Three – The Sword in the Darkness, as the midway point in Telltale Game’s latest episodic epic, does an excellent job of pulling more narrative threads together while dangling just enough new ones to keep you invested. The writing continues to be strong, but a lack…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Life Is Strange makes me hate episodic games. When the opening chapter of a game is this utterly engrossing, to complete it after a solid five hours of continuous play, only to be told “well, you get to wait two months to see the story continue,”…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. This holiday season has given me a chance to go back and play some games that I missed the first time around. The Phoenix Wright titles have always been interesting, but just never quite made their way onto my ‘must play’ list. However, the opportunity to…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I have really enjoyed the narrative focus of the different Telltale Games releases over the last few years. I have always enjoyed a good point-and-click adventure and these games have always struck me as the natural evolution of the genre. They offer lots of story, good…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. The first Danganronpa was a masterclass in narrative storytelling. Taking a series of murder mysteries, and wrapping them up in a philosophical framework that covered everything from Schrodinger’s Cat to nihilism, game theory to morality, it’s the kind of game that you could replay over and…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. I feel that I should preface this review by stating that the game being reviewed has nothing to do with the Tommy Wiseau film of the same name, nor its related Flash game. So with that out of the way, I wanted to talk about how…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Telltale Games have a habit of creating penultimate episodes to their adventure games that leave me underwhelmed, but put me in a position where I’m excited for the final chapter. This was how I felt about the second-to-last episode during season one of The Walking Dead,…
