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.

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.
