    Some scenes are conveniently placed to remind us our past choices, and all the emotional burdens from the last episode doesn't automatically translate into the beginning of the last one. Nevertheless, Cry Wolf is a solid and satisfying conclusion that echoes long after the credits roll.

    The final episode of The Wolf Among Us failed to completely fulfill the high expectations, and it looks half-heartedly even though it gets away with it to some extent. It completes otherwise neat first adventure series that rape gracefully all memories of your fabulous childhood.

    You are not Columbo with muscles nor are you Sherlock in a pelt. You're a charismatic version of Chazz Palminteri dropping the coffee mug at the end of The Usual Suspects.

    An expected conclusion for Bigby's Story: a couple of well-designed fight scene and a strong moral choice aren't enough to make the series stand and reach the quality of TWD.

    I'm disappointed by Cry Wolf, not because it suggests that Fabletown is destined to remain troubled, or that it doesn't overtly answer a vital nagging question, but because a few too many events are overtly manufactured to fit the plot's needs, rather than making each event feel like it progressed from those that came before.

    I was wrong about The Wolf Among Us – twice. The first time is when I hoped that, having practiced drama skills writing an on-rails zombie adventure, Telltale Games would be able to build something more complex and spectacular. The second time is when I thought that there would be some twist in the case of dead hookers. My failed prediction is not what vexes me; it’s the fact that Telltale just skipped the climax of the story altogether.

    I don't like this game; no where does it compare to twd s1. All these users are saying "it's better than twd" no it's not, for severalI don't like this game; no where does it compare to twd s1. All these users are saying "it's better than twd" no it's not, for several reasons. This episode had the murderer reveled and the way they did it was incredibly boring I was expecting you to find the murderer through clues but you don't. Any deaths are honestly too easy. I recommend twau to those who like Noir games but to anyone else.... Its kind of a hit and miss for me.… Full Review »

    Truly an amazing game from TellTale Games once again, The Plot is filled with mystery, violence, drama and plot twists. The charactersTruly an amazing game from TellTale Games once again, The Plot is filled with mystery, violence, drama and plot twists. The characters themselves are well voice acted, especially the voices of Sheriff Bigby Wolf, Snow White and Toad in my opinion.
    (Well done Adam Harrington, Erin Yvette and Chuck Kourouklis). The gameplay is divided into 2 parts, solid and simple point and clicking with a few minor puzzles, and amazing QTE (Quick Time Event) fighting scenes against various Fable characters, you truly start to care about these characters, and what happens to them. and the hardest part is: You are the one who will choose what happens to them, your choices affect the story, and how the game will come to an end. This game will also most likely get you interested in buying the comic books this game is based on (Fables, made by Bill Willingham) I've heard the comics are really good and I should get into reading them myself too. In the end, you might not get as much emotionally attached to the characters, like in "The Walking Dead" but the plot and the story is superb and the characters are all great and different with their own personalities.

    I will definetly recommend buying this game, especially if you liked the walking dead, If you see it on sale, and you're atleast a little interested. Buy it. 9/10    … Full Review »
