Telltale's foray into zombie territory makes a strong case for me to shrug off my fatigue in the face of what continues to be an endless onslaught of zombie fiction. Taking place in and around the events of Robert Kirkman's long-running Image comic of the same name, it compresses the drama in that zombie apocalypse soap opera creating a palpable sense of danger and tragedy. It encapsulates so much of what has made The Walking Dead compelling as a comic these past few years while staying true to Telltale's patented mix of storytelling and gaming.
[Please note this review is for the PC version of The Walking Dead, which is also available on the Mac, PS3, and Xbox 360]

Looking back at the list of titles that graced 8-bit consoles (and PCs) in 1987, you find that's it's a veritable parade of first entries in what would in time go on to either greatly influence gaming or spawn literally dozens of sequels between them. This is the year that modern video gaming was born, as simple left-to-right platforming was starting to experience previously unseen variations and mutations, while the standard bearers of fighting games and RPGs experienced their genesis. Take a look back at some of these classic titles celebrating their 25th anniversary—either of their initial release or the first time we got them on our shores—as part of the 1987 Silver series on MTV Multiplayer.

There's a lot of reasons to love the Mass Effect series. It's got an extremely well-realized universe, rich characters, mesmerizing art direction, a fantastic score, and deals with some pretty heavy political issues like genocide and colonization. Plus, there are nifty space battles and giant sand worms. That's pretty cool, right?
But there's always been one glaring design issue that's severely dampened my enjoyment of these games; their cut and dry morality.
