Through Her Eyes: Impressions On Playing As Clementine In The Walking Dead Season 2

All good stories need a strong and compelling main character––someone who makes you think, act, and feel exactly how anyone would in any given situation they’re thrown into. Telltale Games has succeeded in crafting playable characters who we actually care about as we, the player, gets to decide what choices and course of action they should take.

The Walking Dead Season 1 had us play as Lee, a man coming to terms with his dark past while taking care of a little girl named Clementine, as if she were his own daughter from the Walkers. Every decision Lee makes is usually for the good of everyone involved and Clementine. As an adult, you make tough choices in life and hope what you’re doing is right. But what happens when you have to make adult choices when you’re only a child? That’s a question The Walking Dead Season 2 poses when you play as Clementine.

Favorite Comic Book Video Games, post-2000

SHAZAM!  It’s time for another exciting installment of beloved comic book video games!  This week on Geek Force Network, we will take a look at our slightly selfish scribe’s gaming picks from the 21st century (so far).

Since the year 2000, video games have been making leaps and bounds thanks to improved technology and expanded narrative, so it’s natural that some amazing titles based on comic books have hit the market.  Just last year, a certain comic book series was adapted into a video game that was featured on numerous “top ten” and “best of” lists, giving further hope to licensed titles everywhere.  With so many great games to choose from, I had some trouble narrowing down my list of adaptations from the last 14 years.  Nevertheless, here are my favorite post-2000 comic book games for your reading pleasure!

My Pre-E3 Wants and Expectations

We all know that this week marks the start of E3 2014 which means all kinds of news, reveals, press conferences and general video game excitement. As is typical at this point in time all we have to go on is rumors and personal expectations – no factual, concrete knowledge. It’s hard not knowing what we will see, will it be as glorious as we hoped or will it be a big fat disappointment? Only time can tell but until we see the real deal I’d like to share some of my base expectations and what I want to see from this year’s E3 event as well as learn about what you folks are looking forward to.
