After playing the Tales from the Borderlands finale, I think I have to do something I never expected to do and rank it above the other excel… morelent Tales title, Tales of Monkey Island. I was expecting to rank it higher than The Walking Dead: Season One, but the finale really surprised me in that it was so well done (and it had so much player choice) that it's only behind Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures in my opinion (solely because I still feel that that season is the closest Telltale has ever come to replicating the feel of the source material. Even if they had to get a different voice for Wallace due to the advanced age of Peter Sallis, it felt just like a playable Wallace & Gromit film, and as great as Telltale is at making stories that fit in the universe of the license, I don't feel that they've quite yet made another season that felt just like the original source material).

Game of Thrones Season 1: Our choices in that game matter a lot, the story was one of the best I've seen and I deeply cared about the characters (but I cared for Mira even more, yeah, unpopular opinion). I really can't wait for Season 2. Did I mention that it is the first Telltale game that I cried multiple times instead of one?
Tales From the Borderlands: Very touching, our choices matter there, too. I really care about the characters and the humor is fucking amazing. Now, can we have a second season of Tales, please?
The Walking Dead Season 1: Probably one of Telltale's best games. This is the first game that I ever cried on and the first game that I cared so much about the characters.
The Walking Dead Season 2: Could use some work but it was still a good experience. Nothing else needs to be said about that.
The Wolf Among Us: Oh shit... I completely dislike the series. Please, Telltale, I don't want a S2 of Wolf. We already have the Fable comic book series.
Okay, time to post my list again:

(Repost after finishing GoT and TFTB and replaying TWD S2 and TWAU.)
The Wolf Among Us - 9/10 - It was well written, it had a clever story with powerfull cliffhangers, your choices matter and it has the best final ever. I don't want it to have a Season 2 tho, Season 1 ended greatly.
Game of Thrones - 8.5/10 - Awesome and really original charcters, the best TT game in terms of choices mattering, good story with really few plot holes. Really looking forward S2.
TWD S2 - 8/10 - Great story, though choices, some choices mattered others didn't but still an ok game at choices mattering. Looking forward to S3 and TWD: Michonne.
Tales From The Borderlands - 8/10 - Good story, choices matter greatly, REALLY funny moments, awesome characters, awesome intro and soundtrack. Neutral about a S2, I'd be fine if Rhys and Fiona's fate was revealed in BL3.
MC: Story Mode - 7/10 - Funny moments, cool characters (yet a bit inconsistent), awesome intros and soundtrack. Looking forward Ep4!
The Walking Dead S1 - 7/10 - A bit overrated imo, some choices mattered others didn't but still an ok game at choices mattering, a few interesting characters, though choices.
* 1: Minecraft: Story Mode (Ya go ahead and throw hate at me, im loving this series)
* 2: The Walking Dead S1 (Good story and good characte… morers)
* 3: Jurassic Park (Felt like the 1st movie)
* 4: Back to the future (Gameplay little boring, but i loved it because of the story and how it felt to the movies)
* 5: The Walking Dead S2: (I wouldn't say i hate S2, but to me, it was just "Meh")
Bone - 5/10 - I just could not get into Bone. It's very dated and the first episode kinda killed all my enjoyment even after playing episode 2 which was alright-ish.
Jurassic Park - 6/10 - A great experiment with some sloppy execution. The QTE's were inconsistent and challenging at times and the puzzles were pretty shit, but the character's were all mostly great (Yoder fucking sucks though) and it has some of the coolest ideas for action scenes. (even if they kinda mediocre when played).
Puzzle Agent Series - 6.5/10 - Great story with some kinda lame professor Layton puzzles. It's not exactly the games fault. (except for some inconsistent difficulty spikes) I just really don't like those types of puzzles.
Strong Bad's Cool Games For Attractive People - 7.5/10 - Funny, but a bit juvenile at times. It does have Some really fun puzzle solutions, and every episode has something new to offer like optional collectibles, and games. The perfect game for Strong bad fans.
Tales Of Monkey Island - 8/10 - "Hi, I'm Guy Brush Threepwood. Mighty Pirate". The first two episodes weren't super great imo, but the last 3 are incredibly well done and exciting. It's also surprisingly emotional and got a few tears out of me. Also combining items was nice addition to Telltale's usual inventory puzzles.
Back To The Future - 8.5/10 - A great addition to the the Back To The Future Franchise. It really feels like a 4th Back To The Future movie. It's got great voice acting, and an exciting story. Some drawbacks would be some pacing issues in the third episode and some lame-ish puzzles.
Sam & Max Save The World - 8.8/10 - A terrific start to Telltale's rendition of The Sam & Max series. Incredibly funny and witty with some Great puzzles, but the lack of variety of locations in the first half of the series is a little disappointing.
Game Of Thrones Season 1 - 9/10 - Despite some weaker episodes (Episode 1 and 5) The series was fantastic with great choices, characters ect. Can't wait for Season 2.
The Walking Dead Season 1 - 9.2/10 - An emotional season full of tough choices, intelligently written characters. My biggest issue would be the first episode and the boring unimaginative puzzles, but those nitpicks can't ruin what was such an amazing season.
The Walking Dead Season 2 - 9.4/10 - A great look into the apocalypse in the eyes of a child. It's dark, brutal, and emotional. Also fixes my pacing issues with season 1 by removing puzzles completely.
Sam & Max - Beyond Time & Space - 9.5/10 - Improves on everything from the first season. With exciting varied locations to explore (Hell, The North Pole, The Bermuda Triangle, Transylvania, THE FUTURE/PAST). VERY funny and contains one of my favorite Telltale episodes EVER (Chariots of The Dogs). Despite some minor pacing issues this series is AMAZING.
The Wolf Among Us - 9.7/10 - Dark, gorgeous, and gritty. An insane and realistic look into the Fairy Tales of old. A great 80's Noir Mystery with a fantastic main lead. Despite some shorter episodes this series is one of Telltale's best.
Tales from the Borderlands - 10/10 - An insanely funny look into the world of Pandora without the boring shooting and looting. It features an incredibly likable, and lovable cast with some of Telltale's best choices EVER. It's everything I want out of a good story and it exceeds at pretty much everything. One of Telltale's best.
Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse - 10/10 - Okay, so it's tied with Tales, so technically their both number one. Absolutely brilliant with some of telltale's best writing. A great story with amazing subplots and twist. Oh man I'm having just a hard time describing why I love this season so much. It's just SO good.
Unfinished Series
Minecraft: Story Mode (Episodes 1-3) - 8.5/10
Hector badge of Carnage (Episode 1) - 6/10 - Just not my type of humor
You'll get no hate from me. Minecraft: Story Mode might just be my top game too once the season is over if the quality keeps up. I'm really enjoying it so far too (and I've never even played the original Minecraft before, or at least not more than a minute or two of it at a game convention once).
* 1: Minecraft: Story Mode (Ya go ahead and throw hate at me, im loving this series)
* 2: The Walking Dead S1 (Good story and good characte… morers)
* 3: Jurassic Park (Felt like the 1st movie)
* 4: Back to the future (Gameplay little boring, but i loved it because of the story and how it felt to the movies)
* 5: The Walking Dead S2: (I wouldn't say i hate S2, but to me, it was just "Meh")
The Sam & Max case is the number one reason why I place Telltale's first CSI game higher than most (only their last CSI game is better in my opinion, as it has the emotional heft that they started putting in their games starting with Tales of Monkey Island, and it has a season wide villain too, which is something that was lacking in their other CSI games). It's the most creative case they've made in all of their CSI games, and is an early example of how they could translate their type of writing style well into drama, while still retaining some comedy without making it feel out of place.
Oh god, so many series, but here we go
* Bone - 5/10 - I just could not get into Bone. It's very dated and the first episode kinda kill… moreed all my enjoyment even after playing episode 2 which was alright-ish.

It's by far the worst game so far by Telltale Games.
Opinions, opinions...
Also, I forgot to add; As the others said, you say that they should just cancel everything? You know that there are people that enjoy Game of Thrones, right? If you don't like it, then just ignore it.
TWD season one at the time was one of the greatest narrative based games I have ever played. The story was great and just the whole feel of the game and mechanics just flowed really well.
TWD season two was at first disappointing to me simply because of Kenny being brought back. Though, after replaying I came to realize how great this season was. I would even say most underrate it to a degree that is laughable.
Tales From The Borderlands is truly one of the best games TTG has bought out recently. Though, for me it was just a fun game that made me laugh through out it. The story and dialogue was simple enough for anyone to understand without and really forward thinking. The impactful moments were made kinda meaningless with the humor. Though, there were a few potentially tear jerking scenes that were done extremely well(I mean one scene...).
TWAU is a great game that has everything going for it. The story was great and had well written characters for the most part. Though, I can't help but feel that certain aspects should have held more significance. Like choosing certain places when in fact you will learn the same thing. Regardless, the story draws me in and keeps me there unlike Tales which was hilarious but was stuck too much on that aspect.
GoT started off great but then that whole scenario that happened in episode five was greatly disappointing. Then you have the bugs and issues that kinda ruined the immersion. A ton of aspects having no impact and I'm not talking about changing the story. I mean having a impact on the player or simply making me go "oh shoot". Simply making me feel something about my choices having weight even if it may not really have any. GoT didn't do that and literally almost greatly downgraded itself until it was saved my episode 6. The last episode does a great job at summarizing everything and actually making several choices at least seem like they matter. Having two different opening scenarios was great but at the same time questions us on how deep TTG will go. Will they actually make the two detrimental characters last or will they get rid of them early on in season two in order to set up another main character? The fact that TTG set up a scenario that we can judge season one as greatly as the next will either be damning or rewarding.
1.Wolf among us => 10/10
2. Walkign dead S1 => 8.5/10
3. Tales from the borderlands => 8/10
4. Back to the future => 7/10

Comments
Oh crap, I accidentally replied to your post, it was supposed to be added as a comment for this topic
...You've let me down, Dave.
If I have my way, I would have put both games on First place. I consider both games equals.
Your list says otherwise. But I am only joking with you
No worries. Just know, I am one of those who will defend and acknowledge the merits of this game to the bitter end.
Okay, time to post my list again:
IMO TWAU is one of telltale's best. Gritty, very entertaining story, and characters.
Ok, keep in mind my idea of a 10/10 is different from some, I don't even feel comfortable giving my favorite games ever 10/10's, just 9.5's.
TFTB 9/10
TWAU 8.5/10
TWD season 1 8.5/10
GOT 8/10
TWD season 2. 7.5 or 8
Game of Thrones
The Wolf Among Us
The Walking Dead: Season 1
The Walking Dead: Season 2
Tales From the Borderlands

Sorry Telltale but Game of Thrones is horrible. Please end it soon.

I was talking about ending the whole series by Telltale. It's by far the worst game so far by Telltale Games.
So if you don't like it, it should be ended and the people who do like it don't get to enjoy it?

I never would have guessed xD

Wait people actually thought game of thrones was good ?
also
1)Borderlands
2)Walking Dead S1
3)Walking Dead S2
4)Game of Thrones
1.Wolf among us => 10/10

People with good taste did.
I guess everyone has different tastes
I actually think that it was one of the best Telltale series so far.
Is that a bad thing for people to like Game of Thrones? It is my favorite game closely behind Tales from the Borderlands.
