The Walking Dead: Season Two, Episode Three “In Harm's Way”



The Walking Dead: Season Two, Episode Three “In Harm's Way”
Publisher: Telltale Games
Players: One
Genre: Graphic Adventure, Horror
Distribution: Download

Following the events of episode two Clementine and the group's situation has become pretty dire. Stuck somewhere they don't want to be, at someone else's mercy, they have to figure out a way to alter the status quo, and quickly because they're subject to a proverbial ticking time-bomb.

It's awesome that Telltale brought Michael Madsen in to voice the antagonist in this episode. He has the perfect voice for this kind of work. I hope it's a sign of things to come, as it's fun to hear familiar voices every now and then, especially when they're so suited for the character. There are a few really tough decisions to make, and some members of your group will never be the same again. It is hard not to say too much and spoil things for any of you that might play it, so I'm going to be as vague as possible.

There are a few intriguing additions to the group that I'm excited to see how they play out. One in particular has me very interested. This episode had a weight to it that the two previous one's this season didn't, and it finally seems like some of your choices this season might have a dramatic impact on things going forward.

Conclusion: This is the best episode of the season so far. The decisions seemed weighty, and the consequences will undoubtedly be felt for the rest of this season, and maybe beyond. With today's release of episode four I can't wait to jump right back into the story.

Rating: 8.25/10
