Fire Emblem fans have plenty of reasons to be excited about the recently-released Fire Emblem Engage. Not only is it the latest entry into the famous strategy franchise, but it’s really a return to form for Fire Emblem after the series experimented with a few different ideas. It also features a massive roster of characters voiced by some pretty notable actors.

Seriously, Engage’s voice cast is impressive. It’s one thing to boast a roster of named and notable characters quite so large, and it’s quite another to give most of those characters their own name and voice. While you may only recognize the names of a few Fire Emblem voice actors on paper, you’ll almost certainly recognize many of them the moment you hear them in-game.

So whether you can’t quite place why that name is so familiar, or you just want a little...

As part of Walker Stalker Fan Fest that will take place at Petco Park during Comic-Con, Telltale Games has announced that the voice cast of The Walking Dead video game series will be putting on a special live performance. Thankfully, you're not out of luck if you're not going to be in San Diego, as Telltale Games is also offering a live stream of the event:

via Telltale Games: "Telltale Games is preparing to head out to San Diego Comic Con! Together with the wonderful people at Skybound, we've prepared a very special event for fans of our episodic Walking Dead series... The Walking Dead Live Performance!

On Saturday, July 11th at 8pm Pt, cast members from the Game of the Year award-winning The Walking Dead: Season One will reprise their roles Live on stage at Petco Park in a series of scenes from the game.

Here's who can...

I think I’ve figured out Telltale Games’ episodic formula.

Episode One: Intriguing set up Episode Two: Getting better Episode Three: Great episode (or just good, if previous episode was amazing) Episode Four: Decent but extremely disappointing Episode Five: Awesome conclusion

True to Telltale Games’ nature, The Walking Dead Season Two, Episode Five: “No Going Back” is a worthy conclusion. While episode four was a complete disappointment—decent writing wrecked by badly forced twists—episode five has more heart than anticipated.

“Bleak” is the only way I can really describe Episode 5. From the inhospitable winter down to a group fractured and torn, there are no happy consolations to be found. It might be the darkest episode yet, and Episode five manages to pull everything together for a brutal yet beautiful finale.

It’s a good thing Telltale knows how to hire great voice talents, because it pays off in spades here.
