Review Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 3: The Last Place You Look (PS4)
Begin the rebuild
A short month and a half after Telltale's Minecraft: Story Mode premiered, we have already arrived at the third episode of the season. The first instalment wasn't exactly something that we were convinced by, but it left us interested. Unfortunately, Episode Two delivered one of the weakest episodic releases that we've seen in some...
Review Game of Thrones: Episode 6 - The Ice Dragon (PS4)
Finally, a finale
It's safe to say that Game of Thrones has earned its reputation for being a brutal, violent, and gory addition to popular culture. For better or worse, Telltale Games has continued that grand tradition through six episodes – its longest season to date – to varying degrees of success. Considering the level of quality of the...
News Telltale to Sit Atop the Iron Throne for Game of Thrones: Season 2
Already in development, of course

According to the developer, it's going to make Game of Thrones: Season 2 – in fact, it's already started work on it. The first season concluded this...
News Brickin' Hell! Minecraft: Story Mode Squares Up Next Week
We didn't axe for this
This is not what we've come to expect from Telltale. The developer is notorious for its drawn out release schedules, but it's crafted Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 3: The Last Place You Look in no time at all. Ordinarily we'd be tossing the developer a hunk of meat and giving it a bop on the bonce, but we've been really...
Review Minecraft: Story Mode - Episode 2: Assembly Required (PS4)
Missing a few pieces
Now that Tales from the Borderlands has concluded, it seems like Telltale may be working a little harder to release its games with shorter gaps between each episode. This marks the second Minecraft: Story Mode release of October, a paltry two weeks after the opening episode. Unfortunately, even with such a quick turnaround, the...
Review Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 5 - The Vault of the Traveler (PS4)
Finger-gun fight at the O.K. Corral
Tales from the Borderlands ended its first season recently – coincidentally, on the same day that Life Is Strange concluded – after nearly a year. While the release "schedule" for this series has been shaky at best for most of its run, Telltale remained a little more consistent as we got closer to the...
Review Minecraft: Story Mode - Episode 1: The Order of the Stone (PS4)
Crafty devils
Minecraft: Story Mode is Telltale Games' newest series. While it currently has two other releases with unfinished seasons – Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands – at least we know that one of them will be wrapping up very soon. So, the time seems ripe to begin a new episodic adventure. Unfortunately, the studio seems to...

Telltale Games has confirmed on the PlayStation Blog that the first episode, The Order of the Stone, will launch on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 from...
Review Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 4 - Escape Plan Bravo (PS4)
Skin pizza party
Since their respective debuts, Telltale appears to have prioritised Game of Thrones over Tales from the Borderlands. Indeed, the latter's release "schedule" could, at best, be described as inconsistent. The first episode released in November of last year, and now, ten months later, we've just made it to the fourth instalment. This...
Weirdness Telltale Puts Xbox Button Prompts in a PS4 Game
Great job, Jeremy
Telltale's notorious quality assurance department is at it again, forgetting to change some of the button prompts in Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 4. One eagle-eyed NeoGAF user spotted that his PlayStation 4 copy of the title popped up controller art from the Xbox release – and they caught the error on video in order to...
News Great Scott! Telltale's Back to the Future Travels Through Time to PS4
What the flux?
Telltale's largely forgotten adaptation of Back to the Future appears to be riding shotgun in a snazzy silver DeLorean to the PlayStation 4.

Review Game of Thrones: Episode 5 - A Nest of Vipers (PS4)
The penultimate peril
While developer Telltale's release schedule for Tales from the Borderlands could be described as sporadic at best, the studio's done a reasonably good job of delivering episodes in its Game of Thrones series in a relatively timely fashion. And this trend has continued with the season's penultimate episode, Game of Thrones:...
News Minecraft: Story Mode Has Been Detailed, and It's Building onto PS4, PS3 this Year
We nether saw this coming
Joining the ranks of Telltale's The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and more recent Tales from the Borderlands releases is Minecraft: Story Mode, an episodic game series that will create new lore for Minecraft. The title was properly revealed earlier today at this year's Minecon convention. Instead of following the story of
Review Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 3 - Catch a Ride (PS4)
Touchgoal
After a hiatus that felt like forever, Telltale returns with Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 3 – Catch a Ride. While we felt that the opening episode was fantastic – it really was a pleasant surprise – the follow-up took a step back. It wasn't that Episode 2 was bad, it just didn't feel terribly fulfilling – but now we're at...

Review Game of Thrones: Episode 4 - Sons of Winter (PlayStation 4)
Winter has come
We are now two-thirds of the way through Telltale's Game of Thrones. House Forrester has spent the past three episodes being knocked around and bullied by House Bolton, House Whitehill, and a plethora of other antagonists. But while we found this series to be a bit of a slow burn at first, it has picked up pace of late, so can...

Chair you go

Telltale Games appears to have hit the jackpot yet again, as it's announced that it's teaming up with Marvel as part of a new title set to release in 2017. There's no word just yet on which characters will star in this no doubt narrative-driven adventure, but you can bet your bottom dollar on the likes of Spider-Man,...

The Watchers on the Wall
Telltale seems to have slotted into a nice little groove with regards to its episodic release schedule of late. Game of Thrones: Episode 3 – The Sword in the Darkness marks its second outing of the month – a paltry one week later than the most recent instalment of Tales from the Borderlands. If this pace can be...

Review Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 2 - Atlas Mugged (PlayStation 4)
Cool story, bro
It's taken an age for Telltale Games to release the second instalment in its Tales from the Borderlands series. The first episode deployed all the way back in December, and in the time since, it's released not one but two episodes in its other ongoing story, Game of Thrones. The question is: has the continuation of Rhys and Fiona's...
News There'll Be More The Walking Dead Before Season Three
Dead good news
The Walking Dead: Season Three is in development – but it's not due out for some time. As such, it sounds like developer Telltale Games has got something a little extra in mind, which will hopefully tide you over until the new episodes arrive. "[Season Three] is not necessarily something that you can expect to see super, super...
News Tales from the Borderlands Spins Another Yarn This Month
Dancin', dancin'
It's taken what feels like an eternity, but Telltale will finally open its claptrap and tell some new Tales from the Borderlands this month. Announced during Gearbox's panel at PAX East 2015 earlier today, Episode Two will debut the week of 17th March, which presumably means that Europe will get it a day later, when the PlayStation...

News Unsurprisingly, Telltale Thinks That Its New IP Is Ambitious
Stop us if you've heard this one before
We'll be honest: Telltale's project selection has been frustrating us a little of late. It's not that we dislike Minecraft or Borderlands – but given the storytelling nous that it's shown in The Walking Dead, we'd have liked it to have selected more, er, narratively interesting brands. Fortunately, it sounds...

Game of Thrones: Episode 2 – The Lost Lords marks our second journey to Westeros courtesy of Telltale Games.

News Minecraft: Story Mode Is the Latest Episodic Adventure from Telltale Games
You read that right
If you thought that Tales from the Borderlands was a strange fit for Telltale Games, then nothing will prepare you for this.

The title will presumably deal with all of that deep subject matter...
Review Game of Thrones: Episode 1 - Iron from Ice (PlayStation 4)
Game of the North
Telltale Games has been busy. The studio has already released episodes for three different series throughout 2014, and the premiere instalment of Game of Thrones marks the fourth and final one of the year. Deploying such a wealth of content – this is the company’s tenth outing in 12 months – could stretch any team thin, but...

Round Up Game of Thrones PS4, PS3 Reviews Fall at Your Feet
Forrester gump
Telltale Games mustered some impressive review scores for the first instalment in its Tales from the Borderlands series last week, so can its heavily publicised Game of Thrones spin-off secure the same acclaim?

Review Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 1 - Zer0 Sum (PlayStation 4)
A hyper Hyperion hoot
Tales from the Borderlands is the latest in a new line of Telltale Games titles, which will be followed by Game of Thrones in December.

Round Up Tales from the Borderlands PS4, PS3 Reviews Crack a Joke
Apparently not Claptrap
Seeing as Borderlands is about as funny as being slapped around the face with a wet fish, we were always sceptical of Tales from the Borderlands. The latest episodic series from Telltale Games strips out the first-person shooting from Gearbox’s titles – and focuses instead upon the people of Pandora. Sounds like a recipe...

News Game of Thrones Screens Sit Comfortably on the Iron Throne
Arya ready?
Telltale’s titles are not exactly renowned for their visual prowess, even though we’d argue that both The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us have great art styles.

Review The Wolf Among Us - A Telltale Games Series (PlayStation 4)
Huff ‘n’ puff
The Wolf Among Us is the last of Telltale Games’ previously released titles to wind up on the PlayStation 4. When these next-gen ports were initially announced, many expected them to offer more stable editions of the famously buggy escapades available elsewhere. Sadly, both The Walking Dead: Season One, and, to a lesser extent,
Review The Walking Dead: Season Two - A Telltale Games Series (PlayStation 4)
Once bitten, twice shy
The first season of Telltale Games’ story heavy zombie game, The Walking Dead, spooked the PlayStation 4 earlier this month, and we liked it very much – even if it didn't run that much smoother than its PlayStation 3 predecessor. Fortunately, The Walking Dead: Season Two is a far superior port. On previous generation...

The next to last episode of the second season of Telltale Games’ episodic The Walking Dead adaptation is an unsurprisingly gripping experience.
