"This week we see the release of Face Noir, a point-and-click game set in the Depression-era New York City, and features gameplay and themes that paints the game as a pseudo-combination of L.A. Noire, Pokemon Snap, and Bioshock. The logo is also dangerously resemblant of Bioshock’s. And next week, we have The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief, a more fast-paced point-and-click adventure game set in Europe in the 60s, centering on a high-stakes criminal investigation across the continent. The idea of a more fast-paced point-and-click game that relies on split-second decisions is what made Telltale’s The Walking Dead series so popular; popular being an understatement given the amount of “Game of the Year” awards it won. So what else will we see from the point-and-click genre? Who knows? But here are some ideas."

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 :)
