The Walking Dead is Telltale Games’ newest project, based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman. The game is set to be released in episodes, much like the comic book was. The first episode arrives on April 25th 2012, though the game was originally intended to be released in 2011. Telltale Games have produced some awesome games of late including: Law and Order: Legacies, Back to the Future, and Jurassic Park. If their previous games are anything to go by, this episodic game version of The Walking Dead is going to do Robert Kirkman proud.

This OtSoSG looks at The Witcher 2 and Risen 2.
Stop the presses! Bethesda announced today that tomorrow they’re going to announce something! Hopefully tomorrow’s announcement will not be yet another proclamation that yet another unveiling is coming later this week.
Remember all the time you spent daydreaming on the idea of going back in time to give the Confederates better technology to fight the Union during the American Civil War? Me neither, but that is the off-kilter premise of developer Radioactive Software’s off-kilter RTS-TPS hybrid, Gettysburg: Armored Warfare.
