Just for reference.  Not confirmed as to when it's coming out next week but I'm guessing Tuesday.  I know Telltale games has its detractors over the interactivity of their games, but if you can handle that, everything about this series is top notch if Part 1 is anything to go by.  Definitely captures the spirit of the comic.

I actually like the Telltale games. While the puzzles tend to be on the easy side, the stories more than make up for that shortcoming. I enjoyed the first episode of Wolf Among Us and I look forward to the second one.

I really need to get this game. Especially considering how much I love the comic series.

If you've read the comics, they did throw some pretty nice Easter Eggs in the game for the comic readers to enjoy, at least in Part 1.  Really if you factor everything in my view Part 1 of The Wolf Among Us is the best single effort Telltale has done to date.  Graphics, voice acting, story, music are all top notch.

The Wolf Among Us Episode 2: Smoke and Mirrors came out yesterday.  Very good stuff like the first entry.  This one is more focused on the mystery rather than QTEs, which you can take either way.  There's nothing as dynamic as the fights in Episode 1, but the character development, sharp writing, and plot shines through.  The art style and music continue to be awesome as well.  On the small negative, after a pretty long wait Episode 2 is a shorter entry than Episode 1 by about a hour.

Episode 3: A Crooked Mile came out on Tuesday.  The game remains high quality, a lot of events happen in this one, story is getting more intriguing, but Telltale is getting pretty terrible about length.  I would say Episode Three is even shorter than Episode Two(which can be beaten in about two hours).  Nevertheless, looking forward to Episode Four, and hoping it keeps the same two month release schedule while also being a longer entry.

Telltale is not going to just start making longer episodes.  Their whole business model is based on getting the most money for the smallest amount of content.

I'm not expecting epic length by any stretch from Telltale, but at least two hours of "good" content is my minimum to avoid annoyance, and prior to this, they had at least managed that number.

Really excited for season 2 to come out. I want to see how my choices might be reflected from the first season.

Episode 4 came out yesterday, and I'd say while still good it is the weakest entry of the bunch, pretty much the obvious setup episode prior to the hopefully "big" finale.  Mostly dialogue driven stuff with one action beat and one quasi-major choice.  Once again, it is very short.

The final game in the series came out recently and was a strong conclusion to the story with lots of "action" to back it.  From an overall perspective, the series was very good, though as per usual with the recent Telltale games, the interactivity was very low so it just depends on if you can tolerate that for a good story.
