User blog comment:Damac1214/Why Call of Duty is Call of Duty, Fallout is Fallout, Halo is Halo, and that they aren't going to be changing anytime soon/@comment-4814368-20130312155139

THis is a problem I have with a lot of critic reviews of games. Too often they seem to review a game for what it' s not and what it never tries to be. We generally understimated well executed games that do what we know, and do it well.

Take The Walking Dead for example (although it was rightly praised). The game doesn't upend all the genre conventions. Rather, it masters some norms from the point-and-click advenure genre and proves that, with a good story, the genre is alive and well.
