As reported by GameDaily.biz, Telltale Games is working with Sherwood Partners to help it through its complete shut down.
In a process similar to bankruptcy, Telltale is currently going through assignment proceedings where "they were able to find someone to give them enough money for assets to pay any creditors or they had the money on the hand."

13 Best Zombie Games of All Time
Zombies make marvelous antagonists. They’re plodding dark mirrors parodying our society’s short sightedness. They’re plentiful and emotionless eaters of flesh, which makes them perfect cannon fodder for action films and twitch shooters. Their wasted visages serve the purposes of both horror and humor with equal effectiveness. They’ve been a part of the video game landscape for decades – so long that they’ve carved out their own subgenre: the “zombie game.”
Strangely, the still-shambling corpses of the damned have been important to some of gaming’s more notable narratives and innovations.
Here are the 13 best zombie games of all time.

Jack Reacher Author Says Streaming TV Reboot in the Works Without Tom Cruise
Lee Child, the author who created and penned 23 Jack Reacher novels and various short stories, has confirmed that a TV reboot of his prolific series is on the way, albeit without Tom Cruise in the titular role.
In an interview with BBC Radio, Child claimed that, despite various fitting qualities, Cruise was simply too short for the role, clocking in at 5’7”. Jack Reacher, on the other hand, is supposed to be 6’5” tall.
"I really enjoyed working with Cruise. He's a really, really nice guy,” said Child. "We had a lot of fun, but ultimately the readers are right. The size of Reacher is really, really important and it's a big component of who he is. The idea is that when Reacher walks into a room, you're all a little nervous just for that first minute. And Cruise, for all his talent, didn't have that physicality.
