The Walking Dead one hell of an emotional roller coaster

After watching the Walking Dead in its entirety and im talking about the series, I have cone to the conclusion that this is one addicting series that I have come to really like and thats what got me to play the game a second time and wow it was totally different then my first playthrough.

The AMC series was fantastic and now im hooked and after playing The Walking Dead I really see the sense of decision making in the game ( spoiler alert ) and although the series has some messed up parts nothing compares to seeing your freind in the game get shot by an arrow and supposedly taken care of only to find out the nice lady who's supposedly taking care of him I find out they chopped his legs off to serve for dinner then seeing the main character lee having a choice of cutting his arm off after being bitten or not cutting it off and seeing how long I can live being bitten its messed up moments lije these that make this game so good and so insane at the same time.

Telltale's The Walking Dead is a game about choice. In fact, the choices are more or less what make it a game—it's a point-and-click adventure, and the only area where players have any true agency is in the decisions they make. Lie or tell the truth? Side with the father or the soldier? Kill the man who wronged you, or let him live?

Don't let those choices fool you into thinking you can "win"—there are no good outcomes inThe Walking Dead. The series, which just released its second episode of five, is not concerned with good outcomes. It's concerned with putting you through the ringer, and it does a magnificent job of it.

I'm a huge fan of the Walking Dead universe in general, and TellTale knocked it out of the park with that game, absolutely cannot wait for Season 2!

Scott Gimple is shaping up to be a great showrunner, Season 4 has been great so far.  I'm not all that surprised, as Gimple has written arguably the best episodes in Seasons 2 & 3. This season has ramped up the fear and the horror, and it will only get crazier!

I hear Wolf Among Us is pretty good too.
