TellTale The Walking Dead Game Giveway

Hey there.  Who's ready for another giveaway!  I've decided that I'm going to give away The Walking Dead Game from TellTale!  If you guys have not played this game, you no longer have an excuse not to.  The complete first season (5 episodes) are now available on Xbox 360 and PS3!  Now, you too can take on the role of Lee and see what choices you'll make on your quest to keep Clementine safe and survive.  I've mentioned this game before and I've dubbed this game as the 2012 game of the year.  The game is extremely well written and the choices that you make stay with you through all 5 seasons.  It's a pretty deep game and you'll be surprised by how your decisions affect your relationship with the characters in the game.  I strongly recommend check it out.  I'm glad that one of you will win a copy of the game and experience it first hand!

Thoughts On... Wreck it Ralph

Hey there.  Wreck it Ralph is right up my alley.  It's a movie paying homage to retro video games and somewhere in all of the video game character cameos, there is a feel good story of a bad guy wanting more than just being well... a bad guy.  When I first saw the trailer for this film, I just had to see it.  Being a gamer that was raised off of the retro games, it immediately grabbed my attention.  Seeing familiar faces from games past was not only nostalgic but also brought back fond memories of my youth.  If you haven't had the chance to catch this film, go do it before you will have to wait for the Wreck it Ralph DVD/Blu Ray release.  WARNING!  SPOILERS BELOW!  Now, here are my thoughts on... Wreck it Ralph.
