Having now played The Walking Dead game, I can say I have no problem with that winning. The game was absolutely incredible and has a narrative that puts just about every other game to shame. The writers of the TV show should take notes from the game, they'd learn something. I'm not sure I've ever had such an emotional reaction to a video game before. It brought me to tears. Honestly it's probably the best piece of Walking Dead fiction - leagues better than the show and arguably better than the comic.

H-...holy shit! You've piqued my interest.
You should try it. Just keep in mind it's not a normal game. It's a point and click adventure game. The gameplay is basically a combination of quicktime events and exploration combined with light puzzle solving. It's the story and the characters that are the anchor for it all. You can get the entire season on steam right now for 12 dollars, which is half price.
Honestly, it reminded me of the book The Road more than any other piece of Walking Dead fiction. It's much more somber and sadder than other Walking Dead story.
That ending was, without a doubt, the most depressing thing I've ever seen. For awhile, I've been feeling rather emotionless and have been a downer like Kazenji in a Slender Man thread but the moment I got to that one part, the water works began and I was reminded I'm still human. Damn it. Telltale Games more than just deserve that GOTY award IMO. May we see a Season 2 soon to bear further witness to their wonderful work in such a sorrowful universe.
Xcom was better than i thought it was. I was critical of it at first especially when it took the pc goty award and decided to really give it a chance. turns out it's what i play mostly now. it's such a multi-faceted game with high replay value.
i thought i'd never say this but it has replace 2004's command and conquer generals as my favorite rts.
