Confirmation of what? That the game is on sale or that it's good? You can read my walking dead season 1 review here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=13006420&postcount=390

It was a remake of the old Atari game Battle Chess, and for this price its worth it.

It's called check vs mate there, maybe it's a region thing. Cus the box on meta critic shows battle chess. http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/check-vs-mate
And the five episodes, I haven't played it yet but steam used to say episodes 1,2,3 are out with 4,5 coming this fall blah blah. Now it shows all 5 as released.

Mediocre metascore and terrible user reviews.
If you want the real Battle Chess, you can buy it on GOG: http://www.gog.com/game/battle_chess_special_edition . This "Check vs Mate" game is not the same as the original, and the reviews appear to be rather poor.

I got Steam and bought Half Life and FTL, both are beyond excellent

Next you need to get Portal.
I know this is probably going to cause some people's hearts to stop, but I have never played either Half-Life or Portal.

"Clear!"
*BRRRRZZZ*
*gasps and stands up*
YOU WHAT?!
But seriously, HL1 is still an enjoyable game up to this day. The HL source mod (called Black Mesa, iirc) carries it over to the Source engine quite nicely (with some modder's / artist's liberties, ofc).
Portal is also good, but I must say Portal 2 is *way* better. Certainly worth your money and time if you are at least a bit into puzzle games.

While surprising that you haven't played either of them, since they are both extremely cheap (especially during sales), and Portal was free twice, it is hardly heart stopping.
Also you really should, they are both a little bit overrated, but are still very good series (although the Half-Life games do show their age a bit, but they have aged fairly well overall) and are must plays which are popular for good reasons.

I thought Portal 2 was funny/entertaining, but I wasn't crazy about the puzzles.

Both Portal and Portal 2 are highly recommendable. Very good games both of them, not sure which is better.

That's true. The concept was fresher the first time though.
