[dropcap style=”style1″]I[/dropcap]f you like story-heavy games, the first episodes of TellTale’s “Tales From The Borderlands” and “Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf” have gone free.

Vietgame.asia – Telltale‘s take on first person shooter Borderlands – Tales From The Borderlands – was a surprising hit and a very intriguing translation of a shooter to a story-based game. Now you can get the first of the five episodes for free for the first time; perhaps this is Telltale‘s way of apologizing for the debacle with its games disappearing from the App Store these last few days. Well, it’s not like it could put any other of its games on sale since they are almost all gone from the App Store.Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf is also a translation of sorts since it’s the digital adaptation of the classic gamebooks. The game tells the story of Lone Wolf, a powerful warrior monk with a tragic past.

The developers tried to infuse a Final Fantasy-like battle system to what is essentially a digital narrative, and while it wasn’t a groundbreaking success, it definitely spices up the game. In addition to the first Act, there are three more acts in the game and you can buy the season pass for $11.99, down from its original $12.99. While Tales from the Borderlands is definitely the better of the two games, both games are fun to play and offer different approaches to telling a narrative. And, after all, they are both free, so go get them.[su_icon_panel background=”transparent” border=”1px none #cccccc” shadow=”0px 0px 0px #eeeeee” icon=”icon: html5″ icon_color=”#1f6dc9″ icon_size=”70″ url=”https://www.telltalegames.com/”][/su_icon_panel][su_icon_panel background=”transparent” border=”1px none #cccccc” shadow=”0px 0px 0px #eeeeee” icon=”icon: facebook-square” icon_color=”#1f6dc9″ icon_size=”70″ url=”https://www.facebook.com/telltalegames”][/su_icon_panel][su_icon_panel background=”transparent” border=”1px none #cccccc” shadow=”0px 0px 0px #eeeeee” icon=”icon: twitter-square” icon_color=”#1f6dc9″ icon_size=”70″ url=”https://twitter.com/telltalegames”][/su_icon_panel][su_note note_color=”#D9EDF7″] Thanks, TouchArcade. [/su_note][su_note note_color=”#FCF8E3″] Images by TouchArcade. [/su_note]
