One part film noir, one part gritty crime drama, one part fantasy, all parts awesome. Telltale Games has without a doubt given fresh new breath to the dying genre known as "Adventure" games. Well okay...Maybe not dying, but it has definitely been in hibernation. Adventure games, point-and-click and of other varieties have for the larger part of a decade been in a state of stasis. Some came out, but none really left a big lasting impression. Then comes Telltale with their Walking Dead, Back to the Future, and the absolutely fantastic The Wolf Among Us series. With adventure games in the worlds of Game of Thrones as well as the Borderlands series in works, the future looks so bright for Telltale Games they have to wear shades. -click glasses in inventory- -use glasses on face-

Why listen to me over better detectives like IGN, Gamespot, Gamespy, Giant Bomb, Destructoid, or GameTrailers? Well, I don't just review games from the eyes of a technical, professional Sherlock Holmes. I also review games from the perspective of an actual Harry Crumb.
