The Walking Dead

So I downloaded the first episode of The Walking Dead game, "A New Day" and completed it in one sitting. I really enjoyed it thoguh it's only around 2 hours long but it's like playing an episode from the show with the visuals of the comic! Very well written, well paced, gory, touching, and immersive. It's point & click in origin but doesn't really play like a point & click game.



You play as Lee Everett, a man with a bit of a shady past who ends up befriending a little girl. There's some nice nods to the books and comics as the adventure progresses, and I don't think it's giving too much away to say that it ends on a cliff hanger. The choices you make throughout the game have an effect on what happens to you and the characters later, but also have a greater long term effect if you play through every episode.



Episode 2 is already available so I think I'll need to pick that up soon. Would highly recommend for horror fans and fans of the show and/or comic

The icon for episode 1 of this game has been sitting on my desktop for a while, urging me to play. Once I get a chance, I'll let you know what I think!

This looks interesting I will have to buy it for my laptop sometime.

I am going to have to get this... it sounds right up my alley.

I noticed AMC also has The Walking Dead social game on Facebook. I played it for about a minute the other day so I can't say what it's like, but those on FB might want to check it out.
