    The fourth episode of Telltale's The Walking Dead game series delivers in the same way the others did: telling a great, emotional story and offering the player some really tough choices along the way. If you've enjoyed the previous outings, you shouldn't allow yourself to miss out on this one.

    The most eerie and unnerving episode yet, Around Every Corner leaves you on the edge of your seat thinking "please don't let it end now." Just like a great TV show's penultimate episode, it sets up what should be an emotionally explosive conclusion.

    As if you need further proof that episodic games can enhance the experience in terms of dramatic and narrative value. I can't wait for the finale.

    Episode 4 builds to a promising series finale, and the writers make sure that the emotional toll of every decision and horrifying experience plagues your psyche. In that, it succeeds by properly laying down all the groundwork for Episode 5. The episode starts off slow, but by the end, lights fire in a worthy cliffhanger. I'm still thinking about it, and it doesn't get much better than that.

    With only one further episode to come, you feel like the gravity of your decisions is magnified given what's sure to be a blockbuster finale. [Christmas 2012, p.109]

    It's got some nice simple puzzle sequences, some shootouts, and a truck full of drama. Let's just hope the final chapter doesn't take forever to come out.

    It also seems like the developers have painted themselves into a corner, having loaded the first three episodes with so much tragedy and death that we're left stranded with a bunch of strangers in episode four. With that said, it is still impossible to put this game down, and the stage has been set for the story of Lee and Clementine to come to a fitting, tragic conclusion.

Not at enticing as the second and third episodes, but still a really good experience. Let's all remember the bar is set extremely high in this series, and I still hold it to be the best I've played this year so far. There is absolutely no reason to get this, even though it does more in the way of subtle character developement than "OH **** moments -- until' the end when the last episode is set up for pretty damn good. Giving this a 1 out of 10 is retarded, Briancl25. You know **** about gaming if you say this is 1 out of 10. Go play with you mom's keys. And I'm not just saying that because I like the game. A 6 out of 10 is completely alright. I don't agree, but there can be a case made for it.… Expand

    Episode 4 is finally here! I love The Walking Dead game and each episode makes me even more excited to find out about the next. Episode 4 isEpisode 4 is finally here! I love The Walking Dead game and each episode makes me even more excited to find out about the next. Episode 4 is another great episode, but I can't help but feel like it lacks the punch the other previous episodes have had. It's sets it up for some great and intense moments but ultimately fails to deliver. All the things they could have done to make the episode more intense they didn't focus on until the end or just didn't focus on them at all. There are however some extremely emotional moments, and moments that made me care more and more about Clementine and the rest of the cast. The action has had some much needed improvements and there's tones of awesome moments of Walker killing, but the puzzles seem to have taken a step back. Episode 3 had the best puzzles seen so far, but episode 4 only had one puzzle (that was mixed with a little stealth) that stood out as great. Those darn glitches that have plagued the other episodes are still here and are still annoying. For those who said episode 3 "removed player choice" will be happy to know this episode has a lot of decisions to make that actually matter and have serious consequences. While not the best episode it's still great and I did really enjoy it, and can't wait to see what the next episode brings.… Expand

The only good parts are in the last 15 minutes. So if you want to play through two hours of nothing happening then enjoy. I would recommend waiting until episode 5 comes out and playing them together since you learn NOTHING new about the story. I was very disappointed. I had such high hopes, and then they threw in this filler episode to waste time. Boring! I kept expecting a big twist, but it never came. Everything was predictable and boring. Even when moments started to seem intense and got you wondering what was going to happen, it would be squashed a few seconds later with something boring. As I said before, wait until the last episode comes out and treat 4 & 5 as one "super" episode. This was a disgrace.… Expand
