Telltale has released the first full trailer for The Walking Dead: Season 2
No more teasers… Telltale Games is finally ready to unveil The Walking Dead: Season 2 in the first full trailer for the game, which you can view above. In this second set of episodic adventure games, players will control Clementine in a world full of zombies, but without Lee, her protector from the first game.
Telltale isn’t ready to announce a final release for “All That Remains,” the first episode of The Walking Dead: Season 2, but it’s probably to expect the Steam (PC/Mac), PS3, and Xbox 360 editions to launch on December 17/18. Telltale has confirmed that an iOS version will also be released in December and that a Vita version is in the works.
Each episode will be priced at $4.99, but players can pre-purchase the entire season through Steam (PC/Mac) for $22.49, a 10% savings.
Meet the Fencer in the latest Earth Defense Force 2025 trailer
As they say, the only good bug is a dead bug. And the absolute best way to eradicate an alien species of gigantic creepy crawlies in Earth Defense Force 2025 is with the Fencer, the EDF’s “heavy” class. The Lancer is decked out in full-body armor and he carries a shield and a heavy-duty weapon like a gatling gun or a laser cannon. You can watch as the Fencer shreds overgrown ants and nasty spiders in the brand new EDF 2025 trailer above
The bugs don’t stand a chance.
Earth Defense Force 2025 will be released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in February.

Fable Anniversary will be released on February 4, 2014
Microsoft has announced that Fable Anniversary will be released for the Xbox 360 on February 4, 2014. Originally scheduled for a Fall 2013 release, Fable Anniversary’s new launch date represents an actual milestone anniversary for the game, which originally shipped for the Xbox in September 2004.
Xbox Wire, which is beginning to publish articles to rival the quality content produced by the PlayStation Blog, sat down with Producer Craig Oman to get the skinny on the differences between the Fable of 2004 and the Fable Anniversary of 2014. It’s worth a read if you’re a fan of Lionhead’s RPG franchise.

The Walking Dead: Season 2 will launch on December 17
Telltale Games is bringing The Walking Dead: Season 2 to nearly every platform imaginable, which means a lot of people are struggling to keep the release date secret. But it looks like the people who run Steam and Microsoft’s Major Nelson aren’t very good secret keepers as both have leaked the release date for Episode 1.
The game’s Steam page has confirmed that The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 1 – All That Remains will be available for download on December 17. Thanks to the Major, we also know that the Xbox Live Arcade edition will follow on December 18. Sony has been tightlipped about The Walking Dead: Season 2, but it’s a safe bet that the game will be added to the PlayStation Store on December 17 as well (a Tuesday, which is the online storefront’s regular update day).
The only question that remains is the release date for the iOS and Vita versions. Oh, also, do you think is Telltale readying a release of The Walking Dead: Season 2 on the PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U? That’s a good question to ask too.
