The source Wikipedia cites is this, but the language is ambiguous enough you could interpret it different ways.  I've always understood Quantum Break to be a merging of the style of TV and game into one product, rather than a transmedia effort (I believe Defiance was at least supposed to be this, though Googling around I can't find any evidence that it's more than a tie-in in reality).

I wonder though if this is hype about nothing.  Games have already incorporated (albeit badly) many of the mechanics of television which would make sense.  There have been games presented as a series of episodes since forever (not least the ones that are actually distributed episodically), and, I mean, you've got some examples of games with well-done cutscenes and storytelling and such.  Back during the FMV craze there were live action scenes, too, a lot, and if that's all they're bringing (back) to the table then this sounds like a recipe for disappointment even if the product is good.

Did you play the Left Behind DLC, Botch? I liked it. End battle was too hard though (I played on Survivor so that's my fault) ... The DLC was pitch perfect to the point when you figure it's close to ending, and then a giant ambush occurs and what comes is a fight harder than any in the main game, for me at least. I died so many times. Other than that frustration it was great.

The Riley and Ellie story is a lot of fun and there are some new mechanics introduced that I would have loved to see in the campaign; sounds like one of the things they ran out of time on though. Nice to see it a little bit in the DLC at least.

I haven't been playing anything really over the last couple of weeks. There are one or two games I've been dabbling in but otherwise my time has been taken up by the TV series of The Walking Dead which I'm enjoying a lot. I nearly mentioned it on the last On Tap but when it came to finding a header image and details of the show, I saw a spoiler picture so deleted the whole entry and said 'Nope, not risking it.' Thankfully the spoiler was only from the next episode but if it had been later I would have been monumentally pissed. I had the end of Dexter spoiled by a '10 Most Shocking blah blah's of 2013' or whatever click-through ad innocuously nestled in the sidebar of a site I frequent. Very annoying.

Left Behind is worth the $15 IMHO. If I were asked to come up with a handful of the best DLC in the downloadable content era the two things that would pop first would be Artorias of the Abyss and Left Behind.

If someone hadn't played TLoU and played Left Behind I think they'd still enjoy it - it's honestly that well done. For anyone who loved TLoU then Left Behind is probably going to feel incredible.

I have heard good things about the DLC for Call of Duty 37 though. Out Winter 2022, but I hear the Season Pass is just around the corner.
