14 DAY TRIAL // It might be a day rumored to induce bad luck, but that has not stopped us from rounding up the game-related content on Softpedia for the previous week, including the review of The Walking Dead, the surprisingly well-written and engaging adventure title from Telltale Game that uses an episodic structure.
We also have two Quick Looks for this week: one for Warlock – Master of the Arcane, a turn-based strategy game that focuses on fantasy and tactical battles, and one for Spec Ops: The Line, a third person shooter which flies to Dubai and gets covered in sand and buried under rubble.
We also featured a Gamer Diary for Legend of Grimrock, the old school role-playing and dungeon exploration experience.
As always, we delivered two Weekend Reading features: one linked to the way Elder Scrolls Online will be related to subscriptions, and one about the BioShock Infinite delay and its implications.
And we offer a look at my gaming habits for the weekend, via EndWeekGame before plunging into the most interesting news of the last seven days.
