The second chapter in Telltale’s comic book murder mystery is finally here, but is it shaping to be as good a story as The Walking Dead?

"I’m no stranger to Telltale Games’ work. Having played through Season one of both The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, I’m well aware of the kind of experience Telltale delivers. Personally, I really enjoy spending time with these games. They definitely have their issues, but I admire Telltale’s attempt to further blur the line between videogame and film. Having just finished episode one of The Wolf Among Us, not only am I already enjoying it more than their other offerings, but I now also have an even stronger faith in Telltale’s upcoming take on the Batman."
Kotaku AU: We like to believe there are games out there for everyone. There’s no such thing as a “non-gamer” — just people who haven’t discovered their particular bag yet. To put this theory to the test, we enlisted the skills of technology writer, cosplayer and gaming veteran Rae Jonhston to “convert” Mia: the most rabid anti-gamer in our office. It proved to be a very bumpy ride.
Mia looked a bit like Anita lol, thought it was her at first, That was an interesting video but still its really hard to make someone a gamer especially an adult , i tried that 4 times with 4 different people, it never worked. They were interested in watching but playing just gave them headaches or so they said haha. I am so glad i am gamer from since i was 5 years old.
Well if you go in with such a biased attitude into anything new you won't enjoy it no matter what it is. She started complaining right from the start searching for reasons to dislike it. A more open minded person would've at least try to understand why so many people like video games so much.
Techtorial: Defiance and The Wolf Among Us (full game) are now free on Xbox Live. Meanwhile, PS Store offers The Wolf Among Us for free as well.
Full game or just the first episode "Faith"? Xbox already doled out the first episode for free a while back.
I definitely liked the episode, but after the long wait I was pretty disappointed with how choppy the framerate was.
I'm a big fan of The walking dead since the comics and I had to say I found the story of Telltale's Walking dead game easily the best story I have experienced from that Universe. I have never read the Fables comic book but as far as story goes I'm enjoying The wolf among us even more than The walking dead. It's also one of the most beautiful looking games I have played in a while thanks to the beautiful art style.
Still I can't disagree with this low score because I too experienced a lot of the choppiness which is insane after a three month wait between short episodes. I've never been so in love with a company's artistic work while feeling so personally insulted by their business practices since Valve. In fact Telltale might just have Valve beat as the one company I truly wish I didn't love the work of.
