Tell Tale Collection: kingvas78's review

They are doing a mini-series first featuring Michonne from the comics
www.telltalegames.com/.../telltale-and-skybound-announce-the-walking-dead-michonne-a-telltale-games-mini-series. It will tell the story of what happened to her during the comics recent time jump.

A shame really as Michonne is one of those characters that I really don't like in the comics. Plus could be somewhat confusing for people who have not kept up with the comics.

@Egg - I agree with the first season of TWD, but the end of 2 can spawn 3 different outcomes so choice definitely affects the outcome of the game in that season. I'm still wondering how they're going to handle the next season because the endings are really
quite different.

I've been through the 1st 2 episodes of Game of Thrones and so far, IMO, it's almost on par with TWD (which is a good thing), while doing justice to its franchise (if you like the books or TV show, you'll love this).

The Wolf Among Us is definitely (at least IMO) the weakest of the set, but it's still interesting to see what they do with the fantasy characters. It's also great for anyone who's read the classic tales or the graphic novel on which it is based.

Tales from the Borderlands is pretty good due to how funny it is, although I've only played through the 1st episode so far (and didn't like the original games, besides Claptrap of course - he's awesome) - I loved the reference to that writer from Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas and other films (I forget his name).

I've heard bad things about Jurrassic Park and almost nothing regarding Back to the Future, so I'm wary about those games, despite how much I would like to play them. I may just watch a YouTube play-through of those games or something if I can find them...

As for Life is Strange, I've only tried the demo, but from what I've seen thus far, it looks really, really good. My brother even enjoyed that 1 - I think he may even pick it up. If he does, then I won't. If he doesn't then I'll simply wait until it goes
on sale.

The Borderlands one has been good so far. Very "tongue in cheek" humor. For some reason, I just couldn't get into The Wolf Among Us as much as the others.

King, you should also look into 'Life is Strange', it's another episodic game which I'm really enjoying thus far. (3 of 5 episodes have been released)

Lastly, while I love Telltale, the games merely give you an illusion of choice. They all arrive at the same conclusion(s), which is somewhat disappointing.

I like Telltale games.

These types of cartoonish games are good in an episodic format, but only these types. Unfortunately the popularity of these games, and their episodic formats in my opinion has made others follow suit and now it's reared it's ugly head into AAA games like
Hitman and Resident Evil. You also have Life is Strange among others.

I hope I'm wrong and it doesn't spin out of control.
