    I have just downloaded 3 of these games - 1st episode of each was free.

    Does anyone play these? And which one would you recommend of the 3 I have downloaded?

    Game of Thrones
    Life is Strange
    Tales from the Borderlands


    ... I played like 2 episodes of The Walking Dead one and enjoyed it, but never got round to finishing it.

    Life is Strange isn't Telltale mate. Episodic like Telltale games but it's from a different developer - it's meant to be brilliant though. Played the first episode and I enjoyed it.

    Game of Thrones is good, especially if you're a fan of the TV show. Features a few notable characters from the books/TV.

    Haven't played Tales from the Borderlands but I'm sure that got rave reviews. I've never played the Borderlands games so I feel like I'd miss out on some humour and in-jokes but it's supposedly fantastic.

    Sooooooo....I'd recommend all of them. But first of all, go back and finish The Walking Dead!

    Life is Strange isn't a Telltale game, same idea though and it's better than any Telltale game.

    Aye I liked the look of the trailer of Life is Strange.

    I don't know which one to start first.

    Maybe I'll take Sean's advise and go back to finish Walking Dead first.

    Telltale...just like EA, keep living in the past. 2017 and still their characters are moving like they got a backache. Wish they tried some new * as they are a great bunch of develepors but keep putting out the same game with a different storyline.

    I'd say finish up The Walking Dead, then Tales from the Borderlands.


    Of the Telltale game's I've played, I'd rank them like this:

    1) The Wolf Among Us - Easily my favourite, although it looks like it won't get a sequel

    2) Tales from the Borderlands - Even though I'm not the biggest fan of the Borderlands series, I really liked this.

    3) The Walking Dead - It's great.

    4) The Walking Dead: Michonne - Only three short-ish episodes, but I liked it.

    5) The Walking Dead: 400 Days - An interesting idea, but ultimately felt a bit pointless.

    6) The Walking Dead S2 - Pretty disappointing overall. The writing isn't up to scratch in general, and they started writing shocking moments for the sake of it.


    They've taken on too many projects recently, and it definitely feels like it's taken it's toll on the overall quality of the games.

    TWD 1 was fantastic, absolutely loved it.

    Will try Michone but only because it's cheap. Will need to upload the new season.

    GOT, being a fan I enjoyed it.

    Can't say I'm fussed with the others.

    I played through GOT and it was decent, but nothing more than that, really.

    Life is Strange, although not Telltale, is a similar point & click style. The story itself was alright, but I just couldn't take to any of the characters. It was maybe a bit 'teen-girl-drama' for my taste.

    Completed the walking dead season 1.

    Really good game.

    Might replay it seeing as there must be alternative endings. I stole the food from the abandoned car, If I hadn't then that weirdo with the head in his bad wouldn't have kidnapped Clementine. So I guess if I don't take the food the ending will change...

    Or maybe no matter what you do, your group take the food either way.

    Gutted at the end having to let wee Clem go off on her own with them 2 * that I barely knew and don't seem upto the task of looking after her.

    The ending seemed a bit rushed, I wish we'd managed to find a boat and then head off to a different city and let the story continue a bit longer.

    Season 2 with the Canibals was probably my fave episode.

    Just a couple of things you mentioned in your spoiler:

    Your group takes the food anyway and the guy always kidnaps Clementine. That's one of the main gripes people tend to have with Telltale games, choices never really matter in the grand scheme of things.

    In regards to the boat, without spoiling too much, it's sort of touched on in one of the mini-episodes in the 400 Days DLC.

    Bumping this one, lol.

    Into the 3rd episode of TWD final season.

    Really good series of games, the 1st season being an absolute classic.

    Liked the wee memory lane scene on the train in this episode.

    Glad it is coming to an end mind you, pity the TV show doesn't want to conclude anything anytime soon.
