CheatCC’s Cody Awards 2012: The Best Game of the Year Winner!

Best Game of The Year Winner 2012

Some would argue that it’s hard to call Telltale’s The Walking Dead a true video game. But we’d argue back that this is one of the things that makes it so intriguing to us: It blurs the lines between storytelling and gameplay in a way that feels new.
