Telltale Games’ take on Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comic book series is officially set to return in 2013 with its second season, starring Clementine. The Walking Dead: Season Two – A Telltale Games Series picks up after the terrible events of the previous five episodes, with our young hero forced to find her way through a zombie-filled world. As Telltale’s announcement notes, “Now assuming the role of an ordinary child, players will struggle to outwit both the dead and the living in situations that will test their morals and control the flow of the story through their decisions and actions.”

Season Two kicks off sometime before the close of 2013, launching for PC/Mac, “home consoles,” and iOS, with additional platforms to be announced later. Pre-orders are open now for PC/Mac players on Steam and in Telltale’s own online store, with a 10-percent savings knocking the price down to $22.49 for full season pass access to all five episodes, the last of which is coming sometime in 2014.

“The terrifying nature of Robert Kirkman’s world has allowed Telltale to push the boundaries of interactive drama in video games to a place that has had fans anxious to know what will happen next in this series,” Telltale co-founder and CEO Dan Connors said in a prepared statement. “Today we can finally lift the veil, albeit only a little, on how this story will continue, and we’ll soon be putting players in the shoes of a lead role that will challenge their expectations of how to survive in a world where no one can be trusted.”

Connors isn’t kidding when he says “only a little.” The brief teaser trailer below exists more to re-establish the series’ grim tone than anything else. The five screenshot we’ve shared here are similarly non-revealing. But then, do you really want anything spoiled? Now that you know The Walking Dead – Season Two is coming, wouldn’t it be best to just tune everything else out until there’s a release date?

TopSpin 2K25 serves up a fun, but safe tennis simulation revival
Serena Williams plays Tennis in TopSpin 2K25.

The first video game console I ever owned was an original Xbox that came bundled with two games: NCAA Football 2005 and Top Spin. My appreciation for both Madden and tennis games can be traced back to those being two of my first-ever console gaming experiences.

That’s why I was very excited to hear that Mafia 3 developer Hanger 13 and publisher 2K were bringing the Top Spin tennis series back with TopSpin 2K25 after a 13-year dormancy. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed with how underwhelming the overall product is. Even though it’s the series’ grand return after over a decade, it feels like an extremely iterative sequel to Top Spin 4. It’s certainly approachable, thanks to great tutorials and new meter systems to help players learn proper timing, but TopSpin 2K25's light content offering doesn't make for the strongest opening serve.
Top Spin returns
Developer Hanger 13 hasn’t been coy about the fact that it used 2011's Top Spin 4 as the base to build TopSpin 2K25. Top Spin 4 is a fantastic tennis game that people still play to this day, as it perfected the series’ timing-based gameplay. This isn’t like Mario Tennis Aces, where a special ability can shoot you across the court and hit timing doesn’t matter. TopSpin 2K25 is a true simulation, so learning proper positioning on the court, when to release a button to swing your racket, and how to aim your shot properly are all critical to success.
