I just played TellTale's Batman. You can play the first episode for free, which I only found out today and it's half price on steam riht now. The thing is thou that lately TellTalle has been a bit less consistent than they used to be. Back when they were putting out The Wolf Among Us or the first season on The Walkng Dead you could be sure that everything they were doing was super high quality. Batman although has been alot more controversial...

Don't get me wrong, I still finished it and I thought it was wórht the $15 I spent on it, but the new engine is sometimes buggy and unreliable, and acts up in weird ways. People will often shut their eyes for minutes at a time. I had a conversation with a woman who didnt open her mouth at all.

Really, releasing the first episode for free was probably a good move by Telltale. It's worth getting, just to see if you like it or if it runs on your machine. Some people criticised the writing but I found it very solid. Telltale has set them self a really high standard so even if the writing was fantastic it doesn't mean it's "TellTale fantastic".

Also, last thing,it totally fucks the Batman Canon. I'm not a diehard Batman fan to begin with, I only really know the big juicy bits so this didnt bother me at all.
