Thus begins my tribute the the recent excellence of episodic gaming. I don’t like the idea of big-name developers that put out a game with no ending and then hold the story ransom until they can get funding for the next installment. (And I’m looking at you, Assassin’s Creed and Dreamfall.) But Telltale Games is doing this episodic thing right.
This is the first in a five-part series that will chart my course from here to self-indulgent irrelevancy. (So we’ll basically be going full circle.)
