Having recently replayed – and reviewed – the first season of Telltale’s critical and commercial breakthrough title, The Walking Dead, it wasn’t long before I picked up my bloodied controller […]
When Telltale’s The Walking Dead was released in 2012, I don’t think anyone was ready for how much of an impact it’d make, nor how high it’d set the bar […]
I’m a big fan of the story-based games that the now defunct Telltale Games specialised in. They seemed to perfect the formula with The Walking Dead in 2012, after a […]
The latest episodic narrative game from Life is Strange creators DONTNOD Entertainment, Tell Me Why is the story of siblings Alyson and Tyler, who reconcile a decade after a devastating […]

I wouldn’t normally have had the time to work my way through a single Tomb Raider game in a reasonable period of time, let alone an entire trilogy. Yet that’s exactly what I’ve been able to do over the last […]
From time to time, I come across – or have my attention drawn to – some really promising projects in development. In this instance, Andy Mitchell – the creator of The Star Legation – reached out and asked me to check out the demo for his game. After taking the time to play through the generously sized demo, I’ve been […]
