APP STACK ON

There’s no escaping the zombie apocalypse, as the walkers shuffle their way into a second season of one of the most emotionally gruelling point-and-click adventures you’ll ever play. If you survived the first season unscathed then you’ll remember little Clementine. She’s the main character now, and it’s up to you to make choices that will see her survive the unending undead onslaught and make it to the apparent safety of Michigan. It’s all based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book series, which the TV show was also spun off from. If you’re expecting all your fave TV characters to pop up then you’ll be disappointed, but if you’re after a truly engaging adventure that will have you truly caring for the characters, then walk this way.

If you’re the one person left who thinks comic books are just for kids, let’s have a little chat. Actually, just take a look at this point-and-click adventure fromTelltale, the guys behind The Walking Dead game, and your mind will be changed. Based on the DC Comics series Fables by revered comic writer and artist Bill Willingham, TheWolf Among Us is set in a gritty, Sin City- esque Manhattan. Except this one also features characters from myth, lore and legend – from SnowWhite to the Three Little Pigs – walking among us. You’re Sheriff Bigby Wolf (get it?), who’s responsible for their main hangout Fabletown and keeping all that law and order stuff lawful and orderly. Presented in five parts, fans of classic adventuring and comic aficionados alike will find much to sink their fangs into. While the players hog the limelight and happily absorb the glory (if they’re playing well), the team manager generally just gets things done in the background. They also take the fall if the team underperforms. It’s these possibly smelly shoes into which you plop for this latest incarnation of the incredibly deep Football Manager series. This isn’t a case for tiny changes, either, with a complete redesign of the user interface making things easier than ever to manage your club’s ins and outs, while ‘Match View’ receives a WAG-worthy facelift. Now, select what style of manager you wish to be – from tracksuit-clad field hoverer to backroom suit – and get down to the serious business of ensuring that your team doesn’t suck. After all, unemployment’s rife these days. FOOTBALL MANAGER 2015
