## *THE WOLF AMONG US ([WINDOWS, MAC, XBOX 360, PLAYSTATION 3](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FFL0T46/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fsp%5Fasin%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00FFL0T46&linkCode=as2&tag=kilscrdai-20&ref=killscreen.com))*

### BY TELLTALE GAMES

Bigby Wolf is gruff. He’s gravelly-voiced. And he smokes several packs of Huff & Puffs a day. As the arm hair-laden lawman of Fabletown, he works homicide in a nocturnal fairyland, a neon sin city where Beauty and Beast and maybe Little Red Riding Hood are complicit in the crime. He has questions and he’s not leaving without answers. That or a rawhide treat.

**Perfect for:** toad interrogation, suspicious princesses, reminding you that you need to shave

**Playtime:** 2 hours

## *POKEMON X/Y ([3DS](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053B5RGI/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fsp%5Fasin%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0053B5RGI&linkCode=as2&tag=kilscrdai-20&ref=killscreen.com))*

### BY GAME FREAK / NINTENDO

So there’s this game about capturing fantastical creatures. It’s called Poke-something or other. Looks neat. (Feigned ignorance aside, *X* & *Y* bring a host of evolutions to the series, including an all-new look. But deep down it delivers the same rich, core experience we expect. Trainers, your time is now.)

**Perfect for:** Squirtle apologists, connecting with your niece and nephew, budding veterinarians

**Playtime: 30+ hours**

## CAKE MONSTERS ([BROWSER](http://www.puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=6874005&ref=killscreen.com))

Glance at *Cake Monsters* and see an allegory for our times: Different beasts are forced to eat the same colored pastry while moving in lock-set with each other. Shake off the PolySci 101 and enjoy this clever puzzlescript game with simple, intuitive mechanics that build to confounding complexity. The perfect antidote to a mind-numbing, too-easy-by-half day at the office.

**Perfect for:** cubicle dragon-slayers, subscribers to Games magazine, Horatio Alger’s great-grandchild

**Playtime:** A brisk lunch break, or 10-20 minutes
