No Loot But Lots of Fun

Telltale Games may be gone, but their legacy lives on. The studio may have taken on too much too soon and spread themselves way too thin, but I have to say that I have enjoyed every game that I've played from the studio. Yes, the engine has always been a bit wonky, but it's the story that matters in the end and in Tales from the Borderlands, they nail the story. The characters and humor fit right in with the Borderlands style. Even if they made mistakes along the way, Telltale has left behind some grand adventures and fans of the genre (or Borderlands) should not pass it up.

Presentation: I can't think of a better franchise to showcase Telltale's brand of style. While it worked good for The Walking Dead - it works great for Borderlands, which always stood out due to its cel-shaded look...

Their first major success, and the one that has driven their continued development as a business, however, was when Telltale managed to secure the rights for the obscenely, inexplicably popular Chris-would-love-that zombie schlock, ‘The Walking Dead.’ Sinc...
