GotGame (Alex Co): By Now, chances are you already know Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead is a great game. What with it winning Game of the Year awards from various outlets and selling well, too.
But what makes it an excellent experience? While I can’t speak for everyone, for me it went into a place I didn’t thought possible and that’s making me want to be a better father. Without going into boring family stuff, I’m already a dad. My daughter’s 5-years old, which isn’t all that far from Clementine who’s 7 years old by the time the first season wraps up.
This is the realist you’ll ever see us. Come hang out and talk Telltale with us. We wanna know your thoughts! Leave us comments!
Talking Telltale is a weekly Podcast/Videocast. Coming soon to iTunes!
Before the announcement that a heavily narrative focussed Walking Dead video game was announced in 2012, Telltale games was a development studio that not particularly well known. Despite putting out other similar properties with Back to the Future: The Game and Jurassic Park: The Game, the products were largely met with a very mixed and ultimately tepid response from the public. The rampant acclaim and runaway success reached with The Walking Dead launched the developer into one of the most anticipated and favourable studios out there with one revolutionary product.
I think the walking dead story telling is amazing. I really love the games and think that they bring the respect of gaming story telling up in the world of entertainment in general :)
A reflection on the business perspective of Telltale Games.
I think my outlook on parenting improved after I beat heavy rain for the first time. Ethan Mars will go down in history as the best "dad" in gaming.
you never know when you might lose your little girls' favorite baseball cap.
As a father of a 4 year old son i can say that no game has ever affected me the way the walking dead has!

After Duck died i sat there with the tv paused for almost 10 minutes & just couldnt say, think, or do anything! I went & gave my son a kiss while he was sleeping & just couldnt even try to imagine!

Great game!
if you need a video game to help you with your parenting skills, maybe you shouldn't have kids... you were probably pretty bad at it to begin with if a game about the zombie apocolypse has given you incredible insight into your paternal goals....
seriously, we should neuter people at birth, and only after rigorous testing should they be deemed worthy for breeding, its not like this planet needs a constant influx of the lowest commmon denominator
90% of the worlds probelms are caused by over population anyway, the less morons in the world the better
we should give tax incentives for people to stay single and never procreate, they use the least services, don't take up public schools and are not a burden on the state, yet we reward all the poor, fat cows who shoot out children constantly with more 'gubment money.......the world is so stupid.
Well that's pathetic.
