I'm am always skeptical of a game based on a movie, television show or a popular book series.  They almost never turn out to be fun.  Here's to hoping that this time it isn't true.

It sounds tempting but we'll see how it turns out.

Loving the TV series but . . . hold out more hope for Dead State, and not even sure that will ever be completed.

It would be more fun to watch a Left 4 dead movie or miniseries instead.

Sorry, my (gaming) laptop is in the family room tonight and between the idiocy that is Glee and the lunacy of Dancing with the Stars I didn't fire it up tonight.

Now I'm a couple of glasses into some wine and have decided that since the game takes into account your decisions as you move along, it's better that I look at it in the cold light of day.

I promise to have some impressions up before you are home from work.

OK, the review is slated for tomorrow.

In short this is an interactive adventure game - in a good way. It follows the canon of the graphic novels precisely. It uses QTE often in the interactions so you have to stay on your game.

If you buy the PC game you'll get all the episodes when they're released, but only the first has been released - about two hours of game time. What is there is excellent.

Hmmm. Maybe all those hours I spent playing Left 4 Dead paid off. Once I made it over the fence the rest was easy.
