"Not only is this without question game of the year, it has also set the bar for every subsequently released adventure game to follow in its devastational wake."

Dear god, we can only hope not. I realize you're just doing your job, but this is just foolish. TWD The Game is a perfectly pleasant time-passer, a decent little interactive comic on par with the freebie interactive motion comic on AMC's website.

The seams in the last episode were particularly visible. I've heard excuses made for its absurd brevity from marketing, on the order of 'but of course it was short! You were bitten!' Which must have explained recycling locations, right? And the lack of any sort of cathartic cutscene at the close, which would have given the surviving characters real resolution.

The ending was indeed sad, but not for the reasons you'd like us to believe.
