Telltale’s The Walking Dead episodic adventure game continues with part 2 – Starved for Help. As far as graphic adventures go, Telltale is truly redefining the genre with The Walking Dead. Whenever I think about point and click affairs, I don’t think ‘action’ and ‘edge of your seat’. But those…

Cthulhu Saves The World is a parody-RPG classic. There is absolutely no denying that. The game is worth buying to support the developer for the promotional video alone. You’ll be able to watch it after the break – I suggest you take the time to do so. You’ll laugh yourself…
