ok so for those people who started off with the walking dead have you played any other telltale games? (besides the wolf among us) if no WHA… moreT ARE YOU DOING? instead of sitting around complaining about when the next episode is coming out or how kenny's explanation for making it out of savannah was crappy go play some of their other games they are great and will make the wait for the next twd episode feel shorter since most of their games take at least 10 hours to finish
S&M: S1
I saw this company growing until their Game of the Year.
It was like my favourite winning the cup after growing and growing!
I saw the Max voice changes, I saw the Bone infinite waiting, I saw the "It's not polished" complains, I saw the Jeep Incident, I saw their first delay on TOMI 5 and the website treasure hunt, I saw Strong Bad walking in TT offices at night, I saw Jake managing the forums...
The first telltale game i actually purchased for myself was The Walking Dead. Bought the first episode out of curiosity then got hooked and bought the other 4 a week later.
Im primarily a console gamer so before TWD i only had experience playing telltale games on my friends PC every now and then. The first game of telltales's i ever played was a season of sam and max my friend only bought to get extra stuff for team fortress two..lol. I played back to the future on his rig as well. And TBH, neither of those games were very good... I thought about getting poker night 2 when it came out but forgot about it.
My first Telltale game was Sam & Max Season 1. Ever since then i became a gigantic Sam & Max fan, i hope Telltale will create a fourth season someday...
mine was the wolf among us, right away I wanted know more about the fables, and the solving the murder was fun. I didn't really understand why fables were really hard to kill, I didn't know anything about the comics.

Hey i just went to the games page and don't see Wallace & Gromit any more! It's still in my bought games page though... Are they no longer selling it? That's a great game!
Sadly, Telltale lost the license to sell Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures earlier this year. It's not available anywhere for sale on digital distribution sites anymore, but Amazon still sells the retail DVD for only $10 US. If anyone hasn't picked it up yet, I highly recommend getting it before it's gone forever (especially at that price). Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures was just like the shorts it's based on (and the puzzles were fantastic, especially the final "boss battle" puzzles). I've been a Telltale fan since I first played Bone: Out from Boneville (since I mistakenly believed I wouldn't enjoy Telltale Texas Hold'Em, which I later purchased and found out that I liked it for it's humor, along with its spiritual successors the Poker Night games), but Wallace and Gromit is still my favorite Telltale season.

I'm still able to download the episodes I bought. I got Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures on my Telltale account quite a long while back. Glad to see I haven't lost it.

What do you guys think about the games of TTG? Are they all great, like TWD (not identically) and worth it? I tried TWAU (it's hella good) and heard that Sam & Max is fun. Anything else to add to help me out, frens?
Telltale's games are all about stories, hence the name Telltale , but they have different ways of telling them.
The Bone games, the Sam and Max games, Tales of Monkey Island, Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, and Hector: Badge of Carnage (which was developed by Straandlooper and published by Telltale, which is the only instance of Telltale just being the publisher so far, although it did have guidance and support in development from Telltale staff), are all point-and-click adventure games, where the gameplay is more leisurely, where you set your own pace as you go around the game talking to people, picking up objects, and solving puzzles. Back to the Future: The Game is also an adventure game, but it's more of an easy adventure (as Telltale's CEO Dan Connors described it). It's still a leisurely game where you set your own pace as you go around the game talking to people, picking up objects, and solving puzzles. However, here, the difficulty of the puzzles is lower as camera angles will often show you exactly what to do next.
The Puzzle Agent games are puzzle games very similar to the Professor Layton games. In the game, you explore the area to find puzzles to solve, which will open up more of the story and open up new sections with new puzzles. The puzzles are not of the combine object with another object variety found in point-and-click adventure games, but rather those that use your mind, like working out the meaning of clues from pictures, placing objects in a certain area of a map so the character can proceed, etc. You're given a certain amount of tries per puzzle, and can get hints by finding pieces of gum around the game's world.
The CSI games are point-and click investigation games, where you search crime scenes and then use equipment in the lab to examine the evidence (with all the Hollywood style exaggerations from the show), investigate suspects by asking them about the clues you've found, and then take your evidence to the chief once you think you've collected enough. You can ask your partner for help, but you are given a case rating at the end, and every time you ask for help will count against your grade, as well as any evidence you didn't find and process. Law & Order: Legacies is similar to the CSI games (except without the CSI style examinations with equipment) with the addition of trying suspects in court at the end of each case as the prosecutor. Like the shows in the Law & Order franchise, you can lose the court case and still finish the case (which adds some replay value, since there are multiple endings to the court proceedings).
Jurrassic Park: The Game is a classic arcade style quick time event game (very similar to arcade classics like Dragon's Lair), with small sections of free exploration (where you can talk to characters and examine at objects) in between. Other than the exploration sections, it's gameplay is made up entirely of the QTE action sequences similar to those in The Walking Dead.
Telltale Texas Hold'em and its spiritual successors the Poker Night games, are as the names suggest, (single player only) casual poker games. The fun in these games are the characters, as they will all talk to each other through conversations, less like a tournament and more like a bunch of friends getting together to have a poker night. The games get more sophisticated as they go on, with Poker Night improving upon Telltale Texas Hold'em with more in-depth conversations and more in-jokes, and Poker Night 2 improving upon Poker Night 2 with two different kinds of poker (Texas Hold'em and Omaha hold 'em), and coversations that lead to entire stories on multiple playings.
The style found in The Walking Dead: Season One, The Wolf Among Us, and The Walking Dead: Season Two is fairly new to Telltale, since The Walking Dead was the first to employ the choice based story game style. The gameplay that's not based on moral choice (which Telltale never did until The Walking Dead) has been adapted from the gameplay of Telltale's earlier games. The use of inventory items was adapted from their point-and-click adventure games (especially the easy adventure style of Back to the Future: The Game) and the quick time event sequences were adapted from Jurassic Park: The Game.
Each of the franchises that Telltale has created games for have all been done well (adaptation of licenses and excellent story telling has been one thing at which Telltale has always excelled), so if you like the franchise the game is based on, you'll probably like it if you enjoy the style of game in which that the game is made.

My first game was TWD but since then i have gone back and played some of their back catalogue.

Walking Dead. During the season run of TWD, I played the full second season of Sam and Max.

Wallace and Gromit!
The Wolf Among Us
The first Bone game!
Jurassic Park
twd
The Walking Dead
i would say start with the more recent games like back to the future or poker night then work your way down to the older games
The Walking Dead.
The walking dead Season 1
mine was the wolf among us, right away I wanted know more about the fables, and the solving the murder was fun. I didn't really understand why fables were really hard to kill, I didn't know anything about the comics.

TWD Season 1 was the 1st TellTale game I ever played. Season 2 was the 2nd.

I'm pretty sure there was a topic like this a few days ago...but Walking dead season 1 was my first, then TWAU, and Then TWD S2.
Might buy Sam & Max season 1 and 2 off xbox live.
Sam and Max season 1. I don't think I ever really finished it, though.
The walking dead season 1
Sadly.... Jurassic Park
Shamed*
Jurassic Park...
It sucked in gameplay matters, but the story was great imo
Agree'd TT talk needs some lovin'. (more)
My first game was TWD - im still fairly new to TT games, then TWAU - thinking of getting jurassic park and back to the future at some point aswell.
I downloaded the free fourth episode of Sam and Max: Season 1 on Steam, and later bought Seasons 1 and 2 at a whim (this before Season 3 came out).
One thing led into another, and I became a huge Telltale fan.
