All is safe and all is good but lately I’ve had dreams of blood (The Detail, 2014)

Mathieu, Ignare z barów

Presented as “The Detail combines the emotional impact of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead with the themes of a realistic crime drama like HBO’s The Wire, delivered with our own unique visual style inspired heavily by graphic novels.”, I was afraid it would be too-much. As the next prick, I both love The Wire (not that much season 2) and dislike pricks that love The Wire – I watched it first when it was on air though. So anything pretending to be related in any way to The Wire has to be treated with suspicion. But the game was on … Continue reading All is safe and all is good but lately I’ve had dreams of blood (The Detail, 2014)

With the words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud: Grieve not little darlin’ my dyin’ (State of Decay including DLC Breakdown & Lifeline, 2013-2014)

The zombie trend seems a bit off now (it’s pirates now: you can add Crossbones to the list) , so I guess that’s a good time to mention State of Decay. I already mentioned here the comics the Walking Dead and numerous video games that relates directly (Telltale The Walking Dead) or indirectly (Left 4 Dead), I’ll avoid redundancies. Let’s say this State of Decay is a bit of a GTA in The Walking Dead: third person view, open world. Two DLC has been released. I do sincerely hate DLC but, in this case, since the game is cheap and … Continue reading With the words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud: Grieve not little darlin’ my dyin’ (State of Decay including DLC Breakdown & Lifeline, 2013-2014)

Tak tak – tam w lustrze (Telltale The Walking Dead, 2012-2013)

Mathieu, Ignare z barów

Several times I mentioned The Walking Dead, the comics, the TV show and the Telltale videogame (yeah, there is a second videogame but so far I did not feel like trying it out), see this. Long story short, so far I did not reviewed the videogame but the TV series is so so and the comics great. Telltale’s videogame, where you follow a group of survivors alike Rick’s, come by seasons and episodes. It fits with a comics released each month. First season is over, second is pending (I won’t put here screenshots because the one I have would be … Continue reading Tak tak – tam w lustrze (Telltale The Walking Dead, 2012-2013)

Its not in your head, you’re a living dead (L4D & L4D2 & The Walking Dead, 2006-2012)

Zombies are hip. Don’t ask me why they are, or to prove it (hint: specific blatantly-off-topic game mods). Seems to me people talk about it everyday, or almost. I don’t know when the current trend started exactly. The Road? I Am Legend? I guess it is related to the fascination of post-apocalyptic world ; after all, eschatology is a major issue of most monotheims. Anyway, before that, I had in mind that zombies was somehow result of witchcraft. But now, it looks like an experiment that went wrong, a biohazard that went wild. It’s the case of the Infected in … Continue reading Its not in your head, you’re a living dead (L4D & L4D2 & The Walking Dead, 2006-2012)
