The latest episode in Telltale Games’ new Game of Thrones series continues right after the events of the first episode. And to pre-empt a lot of this review; much of what was true with Iron from Ice holds true in The Lost Lords. Telltale Games’ narrative standards have grown considerably…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I have really enjoyed the narrative focus of the different Telltale Games releases over the last few years. I have always enjoyed a good point-and-click adventure and these games have always struck me as the natural evolution of the genre. They offer lots of story, good…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. At first glance Game of Thrones is just another Telltale Games title using the same formula that worked for titles like The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. That is true, in that Teltale’s take on the click-and-point adventure genre is very narrative heavy, but…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Walking Dead is a style of game that does not appeal to everyone. The pace is very methodical, the focus on characters and narrative outweigh traditional action elements that many consider important to their games. Yet the series has proven that it can compelling in…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Wolf Among Us started off feeling very familiar as it used many of the same mechanics found in previous Telltale franchises such as The Walking Dead or Back to the Future. The idea of a narrative-heavy experience with some important choices to be made along…
