With a shared timeline and central location you can bet that these stories will also share interesting characters, excellent writing, and heart breaking decisions for the player to make.
Sony Press Conference Recap E3 Expo 2013
Sony came out swinging in last night’s E3 press conference and might have just “won” E3. After Microsoft’s event earlier in the day (and the announcement that the Xbox One would cost $499) Sony needed very little help to make sure people saw that they were indeed a gaming machine first, and to rebut a few of the rumors that they would follow Microsoft with an always-online or DRM-heavy strategy. The main chunk of Sony’s event was dedicated to laying out the future of all three of their platforms, the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation 4. In a brief
Dead Space 3 – Review
You’re walking down a dimly lit hallway. The lights flicker on and off in a pattern that seems controlled, yet is completely random. The whirr of a machine in some back room sets the baseline for the sounds you call “normal” in your head. “Everything is fine, it’s all normal” you keep telling yourself as you slowly lumber down the corridor in search of a missing component needed to build a piece of your escape ship. As your eyes follow the laser sight of your modified plasma cutter you notice a few bodies piled against the wall. “Still normal, as
The Walking Dead Survival Instinct – Preview
It looks like Terminal Reality turned the brightness slider way down since last time we saw footage of the upcoming The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. While this new trailer looks better than the last, it does nothing to answer the questions we have about the game. Questions like: What kind of game are we looking at? The title gives a hint but the trailer has me scratching my head. Is it a game of survival, action, or perhaps a FPS RTS RPG with both deep stat management and extensive base building options? Of course we’re also left with a big question about
The Walking Dead Ep 5 RECAP (Spoilers)
Episode 5 “No Time Left” brings Telltale Games’ Walking Dead Season One to its tragic end. Following tradition Telltale has put together some spoiler heavy statistics on the game tracked player decisions. Everything you’ve been through over the previous four episodes comes to a head in episode 5. The “choose your own adventure” nature of the game dictates different outcomes for different players resulting in a limited number of track-able player choices. Of the seven decisions tracked by the game four deal directly with Clementine, our tiny heroine, while the other three affect Lee. 64% of players, myself included, chose Christa
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct dated – trailer
The latest offering from milking of the Walking Dead universe now has a release date. Hot on the heels of a gameplay trailer (below) Activision has announced that The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct will be in stores on March 26. Based on and set before the AMC television show, Activision’s first-person-shooter centers around lovable miscreant brothers Merle and Daryl Dixon as they make their way to Atlanta. Yeesh. After a quick double check of the facts; yes the game in this trailer is in fact the game Activision claims will be out in March. I wonder if there’s a bookie
Best Games of 2012 from the COIN-OP TV Team
2012 was a dynamic year for the video game player — we saw many groundbreaking titles released, many hyped games delayed into 2013 and most recently the release of a new console in the Nintendo Wii U. Being a gamer has never been more satisfying with so many options on the console systems, windows/mac and handheld/mobile devices. It is truly refreshing to see so many great games come out in the span of a year even if there were plenty of ‘stinkers’ as well. While it is difficult to get our hands-on EVERY game that has come out in 2012
The Walking Dead Episode 5 – (Non-Spoiler) Review
The Walking Dead Episode 5 is the finale of Telltale Games’ amazing zombie point-and-click adventure. Episode 5 is aptly sub-titled “No Time Left” as it’s the shortest and most action oriented episode of the series, a sprint to the finish. Episode 5 is a shock the player’s system. It breaks from the established pattern of a dialogue driven story to let action move things along. The transition is fitting and feels just right given the circumstances you’re faced with. Episode 5 centers around Lee’s frantic search and rescue mission, he must save Clementine before time runs out. Forgoing the traditional
Walking Dead Ep. 5 Preview & Ep. 4 Tracked Decisions
The Walking Dead: The Game Episode 5 ‘No Time Left’ releases this week (from Telltale Games) continuing the story of Lee Everett, a convicted killer and college professor, and Clementine, a young girl, trying to survive zombies and possibly the end of the world. With the eminent release of Episode 5 comes an extremely spoiler-heavy video exploring statistics associated with tracked in game decisions from Walking Dead Episode 4. Again the following video is filled to the top with spoilers, you have been warned. Playing through episode after episode of The Walking Dead I feel I’ve become as jaded to the
The Walking Dead Episode 4 – Review
The Walking Dead Episode 4 picks up the story right after the events of Episode 3. The survivors arrive in Savannah in search of Clementine‘s parents, a boat and hopefully salvation. Things quickly take a turn for the terrible as the Savannah welcome wagon is actually just a crap load of zombies. It seems that all the good things that we can say about Telltale’s The Walking Dead series have already been said. That will make writing another glowing review a bit of a challenge. In short: Anyone who isn’t playing Telltale’s episodic The Walking Dead game should be. With
