If you're not already playing this game, I'd highly recommend it.

So far, four out of five episodes have been released, with the season finale due out this coming week. The game is a point and click adventure, with emphasis on story, the way that your decisions and actions affect the people around you, and the occasional puzzle. There are zombies too, but they play second fiddle to the human interaction.
With the exception of Mass Effect, I don't think I've ever played a game that has made me so anxious about what impact my choices will have. The character that you play ends up looking after a little girl who's been separated from her parents, and whilst normally I find kid characters in games to be annoying, I find myself always wanting to take care of this little girl and ensure that she doesn't think badly of me. You'll see what I mean if you get into playing this and ever see the words "Clementine feels hurt" appear in the top corner of your screen :cry
If you enjoy a powerful, emotionally engaging story, and can overlook a few minor technical blips, you ought to play this.
