Choose-your-own-demise adventure game The Walking Dead hit it big last year, with numerous critics forgetting that it was more an interactive story than an actual video game when they were doling out the rewards. That success translated into big sales for the game across multiple platforms, although they weren’t without a few bugs that affected the overall experience. Quite a few folks were really infected (Ha! Zombie humour) by these bugs, killing their save games in the process. And that’s something that Telltale is looking to avoid with season 2 of their game.

The DICE Awards 2013: What the hell is going on?
And not just the band either. With the Dice summit underway in fabulous Las Vegas, we’ve seen a few exciting conferences from industry professionals, floating around new ideas, games and Hollywood partnerships.

Your decisions from Walking Dead season 1 may survive into season 2
If there’s one thing that I have learnt from playing The Walking Dead episodic quick-time event, it’s that I am a horrible, horrible person. Even though I insist that using Clementine as a strap-on zombie shield would have been brilliant. Decisions made in that game carried weight, and with a sequel on the cards, Telltale Games is looking to carry the impact of those choices, into season two.
8.5 Million Walking Dead episodes served
Telltale’s take on the Walking Dead is excellent, and one of last year’s most compelling video game experiences. It’s elevated storytelling within the medium of videogames beyond a level many thought possible – and if you’ve managed to play through the entirety of the first season without some emotional stirring, you’re either a psychopath, or dead. To wit, it’s really bloody good, and it shows in the sales figures.
The Lazygamer Awards 2012 – Best Downloadable Game
Digital distribution of videogames has become an important part of the industry, more so than ever this year. No wonder that some games have been made available only for digital purchase. Between these titles, no matter the lack of super billion dollar funding, we’ve found some real gems, and the best, most amazing, took-the-world-by-storm downloadable game of the year is…
The Lazygamer Awards 2012 – Best new IP
We’ve had plenty of sequels as usual this year, but nowhere near as many rule of three games as what 2011 saw. But mixed in with those twos, threes and fours were plenty of new games, ranging from action through to puzzle. But out of all those new intellectual properties, only one of them could be the best, and that brand spankin’ new future franchise is…
The Walking Dead is proof that adventure games can succeed
Quick, what’s the most popular genre out there in gaming? If you said first-person shooting, you’d be…dead wrong!

Telltale on the 99c gamer myth
Right now, there’s a deluge of dirt-cheap mobile-centric games on the various devices’ app stores. Their popularity has increased the scope on just who is considered a gamer - and is also being pegged as the leading cause in the imminent death of traditional handheld gaming. How do you get people to buy expensive games when people are only willing to spend 99c on a gaming experience? Apparently you don;t need to - because the 99c gamer, according to Telltale, is a myth.

For their next title however, the studio is going to be tackling the popular comic and hit TV series, The Walking dead.
