The Walking Dead Episode 3: Long Road Ahead – PC, PSN, XBLA
Telltale Games decided to spring this one on us at the last second with the announcement on Monday. Not to say that I am mad about that, it’s just unexpected to not announce the release date two or more weeks in advance. I’m sure Long Road Ahead will continue the intense pace and more gut-wrenching story moments like episode 2 brought us. After all the stats Telltale Games has shown about the choices people made in previous episodes, I am curious if people will start to change the way they play in order to screw with those stats or continue to play honestly.
