The Walking Dead: Season Two – $15
The next installment of TellTale’s pick-your-own-adventure game has recently been released on Android.

The Wolf Among Us – $15
Another TellTale hit has been released on Android, but on Kindle Fire tablets only for the time being. TellTale’s newest game plays similarly to The Walking Dead; players make decisions in-game that directly affect the storyline’s outcome. Pick your enemies, pick your allies, and help the Big Bad Wolf solve a series of gruesome murders.
The Wolf Among Us is based on the award-winning Fables DC comic book series by Bill Willingham. You play Bigby Wolf, the Big Bad Wolf, from the popular children’s fairytales. All characters in the game are based off popular fairytales, but are made much more adult with violent, sexual, and drug related themes. The Wolf Among Us is made up of five episodes – $15 gets you all five as they become available.

Gravity, timing, and angry wizards make the task more difficult, while the new mobile release also features spells that help you. The mobile version also adds a social element that allows you to battle your wizard friends.
