It’s been a long journey to get here but it’s finally time for season 1 of The Walking Dead to conclude. This season has been building anticipation about as often as it’s been breaking hearts. It seems like only weeks ago when I was just meeting Kenny and his family, getting to know them while settling in on Herschel’s farm. Things are far from that simple now and in the newest episode, No Time Left, you learn that early and often. The story angles are finally all coming to a head and while we sit and hope for a happy conclusion, we all know that in Walking Dead land, no story ends happily.
This is the realist you’ll ever see us. Come hang out and talk Telltale with us. We wanna know your thoughts! Leave us comments!

Before the announcement that a heavily narrative focussed Walking Dead video game was announced in 2012, Telltale games was a development studio that not particularly well known. Despite putting out other similar properties with Back to the Future: The Game and Jurassic Park: The Game, the products were largely met with a very mixed and ultimately tepid response from the public. The rampant acclaim and runaway success reached with The Walking Dead launched the developer into one of the most anticipated and favourable studios out there with one revolutionary product.
I think the walking dead story telling is amazing. I really love the games and think that they bring the respect of gaming story telling up in the world of entertainment in general :)
A reflection on the business perspective of Telltale Games.
