Actually, it's not debatable at all: it's not legal.

Now, whether that matters or not is up to Telltale. They can do one of three things:
1. Explicitly grant permission, making it legal.
2. Turn a blind eye to it, saying nothing. In this case, it's not legal, but it doesn't really matter.
3. Give you a cease & desist.

I wouldn't expect #1, though it's not impossible. Whether they go with #2 or #3 most likely depends on if they think it'll have a negative impact on sales.

I'm in pretty much the same position with a website of my own (Learning Languages Through Video Games), but in my case I think it's unlikely I'll receive any cease & desist notices since I'll be dealing with primarily text and also the video games will tend to be old ones with little current commercial value.
