The latest episode of The Wolf Among Us starts out with the police questioning Bigby about certain events and Bigby eventually being bailed out by someone you would least expect.  With Bigby set free, he is more determined then ever to find this killer of Fables.

This episode seems to flesh out the characters that have already been established from the first episode while introducing us to some new characters in the story book world.  We finally get to meet Bluebeard, who prefers violence over any kind of peaceful solution and then there is Georgie, who runs the local strip joint.  To say this guy is a low life would be insulting to low life’s.

With episode two we can start seeing how our decisions from the first episode come to fruition, especially in scenes with Beauty and the Beast, Toad’s son, and when we head back to the Trip Trap Bar.  Depending on how Bigby treated characters in the first episode will effect how they treat Bigby in this one.

At the end of this episode Bigby finally tracks the killer to where he has done one of his most heinous deeds and finds some very valuable information which leads to another cliffhanger ending.  I cannot wait and see how it will play out.  This is quickly becoming one of my favorite TellTale games and I highly suggest everyone plays it.  Everything from the writing to the character’s personalities and development sets this game apart from other adventure games.  Episode 3 cannot come soon enough.

I would like to say that I came out of the womb with a controller in hand, but it wasn't until the age of 3 that I would receive my first console, the Atari 2600. From that moment on, games have not only a hobby of mine but a passion as well. Owning the majority of gaming platforms out there, I try to play as many different types of games that I can.
