Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead’ Series Comes To The PS Vita Today
The entire first season of Telltale’s fantastic series based on The Walking Dead, as well as the latest episode, 400 Days come to the PlayStation Vita today. You can grab the bundle for the paltry price of $24.99 — totally worth it — in preparation for the second season, due later this year. Season two will also be making its wayto the Vita when it releases, so you can enjoy your tough decision making on-the-go.
On a somewhat related note, Saints Row IV and Splinter Cell: Blacklist also hit retail shelves today. I’d say the holiday season is starting to pick up — which of these games (if any) are you planning on picking up?

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
