The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 - Faith

Platform: PC
October 11, 2013
The Wolf Among Us is a 5-episode series from the creators of The Walking Dead. Based on Fables (DC Comics/Vertigo), an award-winning comic book series, it is an often violent, mature and hard-boiled thriller where the characters and creatures of myth, lore and legend are real and exist in our world. As Bigby Wolf - THE big bad wolf in human form - you discover that the brutal, bloody murder of a Fable is just a taste of things to come, in a game series where your every decision can have enormous consequences. Your choices matter: it’s not only WHAT you choose to do that will affect how your story plays out, but WHEN you choose to do it. A mature and gritty take on characters from fairy tales, legends and folklore who have escaped into our world. These are not the characters you’d see on a little child’s lunchbox. Play as Bigby Wolf: formerly the most feared monster among the Fables, now Sheriff of Fabletown and protector of those he used to hunt. He must restrain the beast within if he is to earn the trust of those around him. Choose Bigby’s actions carefully. Will you approach a situation calmly or unleash your inner rage? The way you act will determine how others respond to you. Set before the events seen in the first issue of the comics – you don’t have to know the characters or the world to play. [Telltale Games]

Shadowlands is the first expansion pack for the award-winning massively multiplayer online game Anarchy Online. Shadowlands introduces an impressive range of features; new and exciting playfields, professions, monsters and game-play improvements. Shadowlands is a dark, mystical realm where the laws of physics are changed, and everything you ever believed in, breaks and inverts. Underneath lies the remnants of an ancient civilisation, so advanced, so magnificent it challenges the myth of human authenticity. Ancient horrors and spiritual encounters unfold inside the dark and eerie dimension, and the epic struggle for control of Rubi-Ka evolves towards its zenith, inducing an experience truly unique to the MMORPG genre.
