The Walking Dead video game

I can't think of a more appropriate title for the fourth episode of Telltale Games' The Walking Dead video game's second season than "Amid the Ruins." After an unyieldingly intense end to the previous episode, there were few places this new episode could go in terms of upping the ante. So it doesn't even try. Instead, the game's writers and developers offer a chapter about people trying to dig out from the debris left behind by a major disaster, and forging ahead with their lives.

The first couple hours of Telltale Games' newest episode of its video game version of The Walking Dead, "In Harm's Way," feel a little strange. Things move fairly slowly, and most of what the player does is fairly mundane. You do chores, basically. There's high drama, for sure, but a lot of it is happening around the lead character, Clementine, rather than to her. Then the last act hits,

While the first entry of the second season of Telltale's The Walking Dead video game series took some getting used to, by the second installment it seemed like the game had grown better than ever.

I'm happy to report that the second episode of the season, titled "A House Divided,"

The first episode of the second season of Telltale Games' episodic The Walking Dead video game series seemed to take the franchise in a more ominous direction. If the trailer for the second episode, titled "A House Divided," is indicative of its tone, it'll continue the trend. See a little bit of what's in store for Clementine after the jump.

After all the acclaim and attention Telltale Games got for the first season of its The Walking Dead video game, it'd be perfectly understandable for the developers and writing team to simply stay the course.

If you were wondering what's in store for the characters you remember from Telltale Games' first season of its The Walking Dead video game in the new second season, the new trailer makes it abundantly clear: peril.

It's been a little over a month since Telltale games released a teaser for the second season of its wildly acclaimed The Walking Dead video game. It didn't announce a certain release date then, and it still hasn't done so yet, but Steam has potentially let the cat out of the bag. According to the Steam Store, the first episode should be out in less than two weeks, on December 17.
