'Telltale have been involved in some pretty incredible games in their time. They've been known to dip into the surreal more than once and it always ends up adding an air of whimsy to the story. If you used a word like 'whimsy' in the world of Detective Inspector Hector, you'd be beaten up and chucked into the nearest pile of dog refuse. And your attacker wouldn't have to be able to throw very far even then.
Clappers Wreake is the town which 'took the Great out of Britain'. Graffiti, littering, prostitution, drug use, knocked-off handbags and a visit to the local port shop are all listed as things to do of a weekend in the local tourist magazines, and that's before we get to the hardcore stuff. This is the backdrop for the first episode in the Hector trilogy, entitled 'We Deal With Terrorists'.'

"The Humble Indie Bundle is in full swing, already selling over 245,000 copies at the time of writing, however the company has also got a new Humble Weekly Sale which, this week, includes a selection of Telltale Games titles, including all 5 episodes of OnlySP’s 2012 Game Of The Year, The Walking Dead."
From Review: "Hector is my kind of detective. He's lazy, not very sharp and spends a good chunk of time in little more than his tighty-whities. And yet, time and time again, Hector is the best man for the job. He's the very definition of a lovable loser; the type of classic game character we used to see a lot of in adventure games of the 1980s and 90s. He's a breath of fresh air at a time when Telltale Games needs it the most."
IGN: Hold onto your hats. It's about to get a little freaky in here.
Weird? Catherine is my favorite game this year.
of course I don't speak for everyone though.
