Reaction to The Walking Dead Games Ending

I'm going to try to keep this as spoiler free as possible. Every decision you've made so far, every word that's left Lee's mouth has been leading to this. Properly titled “No Time Left” the finale of season 1 of Telltale's Walking Dead game throws the action and emotions into overdrive for what I could easily consider the best storytelling I've ever experienced in a game. Tears were shed during the ending. If I re-call the last time I got emotional like this playing a game was Final Fantasy X and I was 12 years old when I played that the first time. The Walking Dead has an ending that hurts, it's as true to the series as you can get but that doesn't make it sting any less. Do yourself a favor, play this series. You owe it to yourself. Look for the review here soon on BGG.

Worms Revolution (Video Game Preview)

Worms Revolution is another great title in the Worms series by Team17. Many of the games in the series have ranged from good to plain terrible.

The studio has delivered an impressive title this time around and made a video game that fits the times. Worms Revolution is presented in a three-pronged attack sequence with Matt Berry, Berry and The Mighty Boosh . The characters have perfect comedic timing and have well-written dialogue.

Water now is encased within the level itself which provides that needed extra dimension to the already polished gameplay.

The Walking Dead: Episode 5: No Time Left (Video Game Review)

It has been a long journey with Telltale Games The Walking Dead . We have laughed, cried and been terrified to death all while trying to protect a small child from the horrors of the apocalypse. With all good things, it eventually must come to an end, and does this one end horrifically sad. Along the way, we have sacrificed a lot for the good of the many, and never thought twice but this time it gets personal in Episode 5: No Time Left . The new episode returns with the group trapped in a room and now must figure out how they are going to make it out alive and save Clementine in the process. Things continue to turn to crap, and it starts with Lee having to decide rather to cut off his arm or not. If you thought the ending of Episode 4 was just a horrible nightmare--well you will soon face the harsh reality--our hero Lee was bitten by a damn zombie! Why Telltale, Why?! As a player, I have become very attached to the characters of Lee, Kenny and Clementine. The three are like family a...

AMANDA DYAR : For the new film Silent Night , you composed a chilling soundtrack for a horror film set during the holidays. How were you able to incorporate or take the festive sounds of Christmas that normally bring happy thoughts to people's minds and make them frightening for Silent Night ? KEVIN RIEPL : To be honest, I initially started off thinking that I didn't want to incorporate the 'usual' sounds of the holidays, especially sleigh bells. I originally wanted to do something different, something that was still reminiscent of that holiday sound. However, when I started scoring the film, placing sleigh bells over intense, scary horror-driven music...
