Lastnight I decided to give Wolf Among Us a shot. Telltale games is recognized for developing adventure games like Back to the Future and The Walking Dead, but not to many have given this game a try let alone heard of it. After playing the first episode, and laughing my ass off, I can say it's a pretty good game. This is actually a prequel to the comic series known as "Fables" which depicts fairytale characters living in the real world. It's more or less like the TV shows Grimm and Once Upon a Time, but interactive and with a heavy dose of profanity. You assume the role of Bigby Wolf who is the sheriff of Fabletown, and is more commonly known as the Big Bad Wolf. The game plays out like a typical crime/detective drama, but with a magical twist. These episodic games are like those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, in that the choices you make will give you different results every time you play it. Telltale has done a great job with expanding the universe of titles such as Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, and The Walking Dead and I certainly recommend giving this entry a good rogering. If you're a fan of the Borderlands franchise be on the lookout for Telltale's upcoming episodic series Tales from the Borderlands. Also, they're developing a game adaptation to the popular TV series Game of Thrones.
