Walking Dead

Even though we're still well over a month away from "Walking Dead" returning to AMC, there are still numerous avenues from which to get your zombie fix, including Telltale Games' phenomenal video game based on the Robert Kirkman comic book series.

In fact, the third episode of "Walking Dead" — titled "Long Road Ahead" — is hitting PlayStation Network today (August 28) and Xbox Live Arcade, PC and Mac on Wednesday (August 29), according to the team at IGN.

'Walking Dead' Episode 2 Review: The Zombie Guide To Parenting

Posted 7/13/12 1:20 pm EST by in Image Comics, Panels & Pixels, Review, video games

The wait for the next entry of Telltale's "The Walking Dead" was almost unbearable. If you checked out our review of the first episode back in April, you probably noticed we were just a little smitten with the game's powerful narrative and pacing. But as the credits rolled on the freshman outing of "Walking Dead," there was just one nagging question: could Telltale keep you on the edge of your seat with each subsequent episode?

Amazingly, the next chapter in Lee Everett and company's perilous journey is even more intriguing than the first – a frequently gut-wrenching, occasionally touching walk through a world gone to hell.

'Walking Dead' Game's Second Episode Arrives Today

Posted 6/27/12 10:00 am EST by in Image Comics, News, video games

History teacher Lee Everett is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. From getting carted off in a police car to crashing in the woods in the midst of a zombie outbreak, picking and choosing who lives and who dies a grisly death at the decaying maw of a flesh-eating monster, it's safe to say that Lee's seen brighter days.

Sadly for him, and awesomely for us, Lee's days are only getting darker. "The Walking Dead" video game from Telltale Games is releasing its second episode, titled "Starving For Help," today for Xbox Live, with PC and PS3 releases coming on Friday (June 29). Hope you're ready to do whatever it takes to save Clementine from the twisted forces of a post-apocalyptic world, because if episode one was any indication, you're not going to have a whole lot of time to think before you act.

Let us know how episode two of the "Walking Dead" game treats you in the comments section below or hit us up on Twitter!

Mark Hamill's Joker Gets 'Last Laugh' In New 'DC Universe Online' DLC

Posted 6/18/12 8:00 am EST by in DC Comics, video games

Few would disagree that Mark Hamill's Joker is one of the very best — if not the best — takes on the iconic DC Comics villain out there. His haunting, howling laugh is not something that leaves the mind easily, particularly when you recall that this is the same voice that brought Luke Skywalker to life so many years ago.

All of that said, it's always a pleasure to hear Hamill's chilling cackle as the Clown Prince of Crime, especially given recent word of his retirement as the character. But apparently there is some more Joker in his future: MTV Multiplayer has an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at "The Last Laugh," a new DLC for "DC Universe Online" that's available this week.

Get a look at Hamill in the studio as Joker in the video below.

'Assassin's Creed: The Chain' Will Link Comics To Next 'Creed' Game

Posted 5/31/12 7:40 pm EST by in Panels & Pixels, video games

"Assassin's Creed III," the next major installment in Ubisoft's incredibly popular game franchise, is due out this fall. But if you're hankering for some Assassin-Templar war action to tide you over until then, Ubisoft has announced an all new graphic novel, "The Chain." While the book serves as a continuation of the story-arc developed in previous "Creed" comics, it's apparently tied to the next game in some manner, as well.

A couple years ago, Ubisoft teamed up with now-defunct DC imprint Wildstorm to produce a three-issue comic series, "Assassin's Creed: The Fall." The story followed the exploits of Nikolai Orelov, a Russian assassin in the late 19th century. Much like the characters in previous "Creed" videogames, Orelov's tale is seen through the eyes of his modern-day descendent, Daniel Cross.

According to Ubisoft's site, "The Chain" is the next chapter in Orelov and Cross' story.
