After several years of honing its skills on properties like Back to the Future and Sam & Max, Telltale Games nailed its episodic storytelling approach with 2012's brilliant The Walking Dead. It forced you to make moral and strategic choices while trying to survive the undead uprising, and then made you second-guess all of them as those around you suffered miserable outcomes. It was utterly gripping. Who better, then, to adapt another dark comic book favorite? The Wolf Among Us (First episode free, $15 for a season pass) sees Telltale in top form again, using a similar formula to bring DC/Vertigo's modern comic classic Fables to life. As a murderer stalks displaced fairy tale characters hiding out in New York City, your every interaction twists and contorts the story across the five episodes. It's an awesome fit for a smartphone screen, and you don't even need to know the source material to get hooked.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Continue reading at 'PC World'
