It's hard to talk about Telltale's Walking Dead games without spoilers, so I'll keep it short. These videogame versions of the "choose your own adventure" books of my youth continue to raise the bar for storytelling in the medium. While season one took a serious stab at a truly heart-wrenching story and was successful to a degree that I did not believe was possible with a videogame, season two is a great tale of Clem's coming of age in the WD universe. While it may not have the "punch in the gut" impact of season one, it continues the tale and tone that the first season established so well. It was not without it's downsides and questionable moments, but those are so overshadowed by the overall package that I could easily put the blinders on for those moments. Cannot wait for season 3! Hopefully Telltale will allow us to transfer save files from the 360 to the PS4.
