The game is excellent! It's my favorite of last year, though admittedly there are plenty of big games I've yet to play. The use choice is maybe the best I've seen in a game, and the story, characters and writing are top notch (and not just top notch for a video game).
The only caveat is that it's a bit buggy -- I actually got hit with a bug that wiped my save just before the final chapter. :( It's been patched since then, though. (I played on the PS3, for the record.)
I absolutely adored Journey. I agree it's not a game you can keep playing over and over, but once every few months is pretty doable.
What did you think of The Walking Dead? I've become addicted to the TV series, but I haven't read the comic and I haven't played the game. Now I'm kind of keen to try the game, both due to the awesome TV series and the fact that the game seems to be getting great reviews!
