The Late Night Gamer: I booted up the game and saw myself handcuffed in the back of a cop car, on my way to serve the sentence for my murder conviction. The cop says he doesn’t think I did it, which only proves that he was too senile for his job. Because he was too busy chatting me up, he ended up crashing the car after a shambling fellow walked into traffic. I woke up with an injured leg, and the officer was both right next to me and on the ground ten feet from the car if you know what I mean.

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.
