    The Walking Dead Episode 2 is something that begs to be talked about once it's finished, and not beforehand, which makes writing this review a little challenging. If the first episode didn't convince you enough that the series is worth continuing, than I'm not sure that episode 2 really does much differently to make you think otherwise.

    To have a game that not only focuses on story but tells one compelling enough to keep thinking about once the console is off? That's something no one should miss.

    Each episode so far has had its good parts and bad parts- but each time, it's something different. It's been inconsistent, and I don't think it can keep my interest if it doesn't settle down and find a groove for itself. The lack of focus on Lee/Clementine is only forgiven because of the extra focus on a good story twist at the end- but I really hope they find a balance in the future, which would truly make the game compelling on a level that Telltale hasn't done before. As of now, it still feels like a work in progress.

    Awesome game and just as good as the first and worth the 400 points. Cant wait for the 3rd one. Disappointed only that it takes ages for the next episode and would love to more and more.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After playing the first epsiode, and loving it, i was having trouble beliving that the first episode could be topped. I was wrong. Altho i got my suspicions about a certain food related issue very early, i was still suprised about the execution of it all. Episode 2 is another great entry and we can only hope they set quality before anything else (like they amply demonstrated with the delays of ep2)… Expand

    I could almost bracket a mark for Telltale's belligerent tardiness, but they're forgiven on account of such a stellar addition to their newest game series. Episode one was, surprising, well executed and left me starving for more; and while a little late to the party, episode two pushes the positives of the first even further. More complicated choices, more emotion and a bigger sense of 'this is your life' make this episode more powerful than the first. Yes, it has it's hiccups and no I don't understand why there was such a long delay but Starved for Help is an excellent follow up to episode one and was enough to convince me that purchasing a ticket to the season pass was more than worth the sixteen quid admission tag. Bring on Episode three, and please don't take so long this time!… Expand
