VIDEO GAMES: Episode One Has Hit For Dontnod & Square Enix's LIFE IS STRANGE

Not a CBM, but Square Enix's new Life Is Strange will feel VERY familiar to fans of Tell Tale Games The Walking Dead. CLICK HERE to learn about the game and check out the launch trailer while you're at it!

As I mentioned above, Life Is Strange is NOT related to any CBM's, nor any movies that I'm aware of, but I thought it was worth covering for fans (like me) of Telltale Games The Walking Dead video game. It is being described as "When Gone Home meets The Walking Dead." Life is Strange published by Square Enix and developed by Dontnod, the developers behind last year's Remember Me, and is a story based choice and consequence game set to release in five episodes , similar to The Walking Dead.  The game differs in that you actually get a super power - the ability to rewind time and affect the past, present and future (I REALLY wish I had that while playing The Walking Dead...).

You play as Max, a senior who returns to Arcadia Bay (her old home town) and is studying photography.  Max discovers she can rewind time while saving her old friend Chloe.  Chloe and Max soon find themselves exposed to the darker side of town as they uncover the disturbing truth behind the sudden disappearance of a fellow student and Chloe's close friend.
 
Meanwhile, Max begins to have premonitions as she struggles to understand the implications of her power. She must quickly learn that changing the past can sometimes lead to a devastating future.


Episode one is now available for Xbox One, PS4, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. It is rated "M" for Mature by the ESRB for blood, sexual themes, strong language, violence and the use of drugs.

Member Since 1/26/2004
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.

Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.

Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
