I have been along for the ride of The Walking Dead since Episode 1: A New Day. I liked it, but I didn't love it. It showed promise. By the end of Episode 2: Starved For Help, I was completely on board. It was at the end of Episode 3: Long Road Ahead where I first uttered the phrase "potential game of the year." The penultimate Episode 4: Around Every Corner wasn't as high a watermark, but it set up a compelling and harrowing finale. Does the newest and final episode of the season, No Time Left, possibly payoff?

Looking for a version of Little Red Riding Hood that's not quite as kid-oriented? Cruel Games: Red Riding Hood spins the tale anew in the form of a hidden object game, setting it in a modern day world with a twisted madman who spends his time kidnapping people and forcing them to act out versions of classic fairytales. It's dark, often disturbing, and maybe just the thing for a quiet night when you're ready to scare yourself half to death.
Massively multiplayer online games have long been the near-exclusive domain of the PC, which historically has meant that they're something you play while hunched over a keyboard, your face mere inches away from your monitor - and certainly not the sort of thing you carry around in your pocket.
