Walking Dead Episode 2 ‘Starved for Help’ Review | Gaming Examiner

Telltale Games has released the second installment in their ‘Walking Dead’ series, this one titled ‘Starved for Help’. The second episode brings more depth to each of the characters and the story evolves as each of them push onward in their struggle for survival.

The second episode takes place three-months after the first zombie-related incidents, players still assume the role of Lee Everett as he guides Clementine through the the zombie-apocalypse. Though you had choices in the first game, the original episode wasn’t long enough to really explore how your actions were affecting your story-line. The second episode gives Telltale an opportunity to do so, and they do it very well.

Wizziokid4332d ago

thanks for the response, hope they get it sorted asap, need to play!

cstyle4332d ago

Played this on xbox already. This episode is better than the first.

Kran4332d ago

let me rephrase that. "This episode is more shocking than the first" in a brilliant way of course.

cstyle4332d ago

Yep. Great story telling.

jeseth4332d ago

If you've read the comics you could have seen this "shock" coming a mile away.

I was a little let down that they went down the road they did so early on. SPOILER ALERT - Cannabalism doesn't show up until well after a year after the outbreak in the comics when people start getting really desperate.

I did like this episode though, it seems like everything if F'd no matter how you made your choices. People died connected to alliances/friendships you were trying to preserve and I'm excited to see where the game goes to next.

I just hope it doesn't take another 2 months!

despair4332d ago

@jeseth

*Spoiler Alert*

Just because it wasn't in the comics until a year after doesn't mean it didn't happen well before that. But yea I did see it coming as I read the comics as well lol, but it didn't make it any more impressive an episode. Can't wait for Episode 3, I hope its not as long a wait.

jeseth4332d ago

@ despair ...

I'm with you buddy. Interested to see where it goes from here!

Game never had plat no surprise

NukaCola3508d ago

Season 1 has a platinum trophy. I have it. 500 Days didn't though.

Jaqen_Hghar3508d ago

still sucks though. Couldn't be any easier than season 1 so no reason not to

Jaqen_Hghar3508d ago (Edited 3508d ago )

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Well guess a man will only get for Ps4 now (was going to get for both and plat both so now dev will get less support). Honestly why not have a plat? Your first game had one and it was impossible to miss so it can't be any easier. The Wolf among us for both then and TWD season 1 PS4. Well that's still 3 platinums to add to a man's collection. A man still supports the dev but this makes zero sense. Hopefully BF gets them both down to $20 or lower.

To be clear a man doesn't base any purchases on trophies. A man was going to wait for the PS4 versions of all the games regardless but was going to get the PS3 version as well before re-selling it just to get the plat for little to no cost (after resale cost was subtracted). A man only bothers to platinum a game if he likes it and never does annoying trophies like Resistance 2 10,000 kills despite that being the only one that he didn't have because if they're not fun why go for em?

Didn't have it on PS3 either. Don't know why, but yea.

Papafynn3508d ago

Dear Game Developers,

Platinum Trophies sells games. Gamers check trophy Lists before they buy a game. An easy or "Onlineless" trophy list could be the tiebreaker if they can afford only one game. Trust me it does. Doesn't make much sense but well.....it's gamers of today. They need to be rewarded. Be it a 100 "Like" on their selfies, 100 "retweets" or 100 other gamers watching them play a game on Twitch.

Give them their Platinum Trophies.

sloth33953508d ago

real gamers don't care about trophies only these fake gamers do. a real gamer plays a game for fun not to get trophies

Theangrybogan3508d ago

But what does a true Scotsman do?

kreate3508d ago (Edited 3508d ago )

It's always nice to have trophies. Especially the platinum.

Wish starcraft had trophies and be released on ps4 or x1. I'll play it all day everyday.

Ratty3507d ago

You can care a little, not at all or a lot about trophies and it doesn't affect your status as a gamer at all.

Some people enjoy hunting for trophies. You don't. That doesn't make you better than them nor does hunting for trophies make them better than you. So please ;p

CaptainObvious8783507d ago (Edited 3507d ago )

There's been many a game I've been on the fence about, about because of their stupid online trophies or lack of platinum trophy I haven't bothered.

Dark_Overlord3507d ago

Same here, I avoid near enough every game with ridiculous online trophies.

levian3507d ago

You guys know a game can be fun regardless of whether it's trophies are difficult to get, right? Just because you can't get them all the way you like to play doesn't mean it's not worthy of purchase.

ginganinja3507d ago

I was under the impression it was Sony that determined whether a game could include a platinum trophy.

SonyAddict3508d ago

A true scots man tries to get every platinum that he can get and I know..because I am one!.
