The Walking Dead: The Game - Episode 2: Starved For Help

Back in the shoes of Lee Everett, this episode follows the group of survivors in their search for food. Stumbling across 2 brothers from a dairy farm from up the road aways, Lee and a select group travel to the farm which the brothers promise has plenty of food and security but everything isn't as it seems.

After finishing the last episode of telltale games The Walking Dead, I was gripped by the story and characters as well as the promise of my all of my choices will have an effect on the rest of the story. This episode was definitely not a let down. As I played through I was happy to see the choices that I made last time were remembered in this episode.

Telltale have also said that the gore factor of this series will do nothing but ramp up as it draws to a climactic end with episode 5. Which left me wondering.... 'how much more gore could they possible fit in?' as I chopped of a guys leg in the first 15 minutes.

As I said previously, if you're a zombie fan, a walking dead fan, or a telltale games fan, then you should definitely check this series out. Some scenes may be a little graphic at times but the story is well worth it. My heart didn't stop pumping until the very end. Can't wait until the next one.

About Time Australia

It's been a long time coming but as of last night, us delightful gamers down under finally have an R18+ Rating for video games. Hopefully now we will get the full force of what developers have to give us....... That's right, I'm looking at you Left 4 Dead 2, which was so heavy censored that it was barely playable. Who wants to play a zombie game where there is hardly ANY blood and the bodies completely disappear when they hit the ground..... Not me that's for sure!

Lvl 20 Monk

So as I said previously, I've been playing Blizzard Entertainment's 'Diablo 3'. Having only had a few session, I've reached level 20 with my first character. It's pretty easy to say that a lot a care and thought has been put into this sequel so that fans of the series, fans of the genre and even people who haven't played one of the diablo games before can come into the series and feel comfortable.
