This week, the review department of Softpedia is delivering long-form evaluations for Knock-Knock, an interesting but ultimately frustrating fear-focused experience, The Wolf Among Us – Faith, the first of the Fables-themed games from Telltale Games, Timelines: Assault on America, Eleusis, Goodbye Deponia and Bionic Dues.

We also have more Gamer Diaries linked to Beyond: Two Souls that talk about the main character, the nature of the combat and the performance of Ellen Page.

Our Weekend Reading features two important subjects: the thin line that separates interactive movies from games and planning for big launches.

We also deliver an EndWeekGame piece that talks about how we plan to spend our free time and a selection of the most important news from the week that was.
