bigloser · April 7th, 2012, 02:02 AM

The first episode (5 total) of The Walking Dead video game is coming this month courtesy of Telltales Games. The Walking Dead is a mixture of Telltales style of adventure games, with a bit more action added in.

The game is based on the comics, not the TV show, Robert Kirkman the comic's creator is supposedly working very close to the game overseeing the story.

First episode will be 400 points ($5).

I'm a huge fan of the show so I'll definitely check it out.

Bigg Russ · April 12th, 2012, 01:53 AM

Love the comic and am a decent fan of the show (I haven't really caught up) so I'm gettin' this too.

Is that idiot cunt Lori in the game? If so, can I sacrifice her stupid ass to the zombies?

RookieCAF · April 13th, 2012, 02:57 PM

Tell us how you really feel about Lori, Shao.... LOL

bigloser · April 28th, 2012, 01:17 AM

I'm a little surprised by how much fun this is.

Telltale may have finally found a way to make adventure games actually fun to play with a controller. Even if you aren't a fan of the show/comic, you probably should give this a try, especially at 5 bucks.

Add Walking Dead to your download queue.

Wow, it's amazingly well done. Pretty much an interactive comic book and it looks, sounds, and plays fantastic. Tons of decisions and choices in Chapter 1 alone. Considering they carry through for all 5 chapters, you could probably play this game dozens of times to try out all the possibilities. What's really cool is at the end of the chapter the game keeps track of the choices you made and compares them to everyone else who plays.

Bought the entire game for $25 on Steam. Can't wait for Chapter 2.

Bigg Russ · April 29th, 2012, 05:05 PM

Oh, it's available? Thanks.

bigloser · June 30th, 2012, 01:54 AM

Episode 2 is out on all platforms, $5 like the last episode.

EGM gave Episode 2 a 9.0.

The second episode in this five-part series cranks the twisted-ness up to 11—and may push you in directions you never even thought possible.

Definite purchase!

I may just get this on Steam instead since it is $30 less.

I thought it was $5 cheaper? All 5 episodes only cost $25, so unless they're paying you to play all 5 episodes...

Sorry. I thought there were going to be more than 5 episodes. Nevermind. They cost the same actually. I saw Walking Dead for $24.99 and there are 5 episodes so it will be the same on the Xbox.

i'll take that too.

bigloser · July 6th, 2012, 12:20 PM

It will probably be like other Activision B-tier shooters that run on the Call of Duty engine but plays worse.

GOTY

Easily.

bigloser · September 21st, 2012, 02:53 AM

According to the achievements at almost at the end of Episode 3.

I'm pretty blown away with how every episode seems to get better and better. This is also easily one of the best stories I've seen in a game, and the guys who wrote the game did an incredible job with Clementine... you're really rooting for her to make it through alive.

If the final 2 episodes hold up, this will definitely go down as one of my favorite games of the year.

bigloser · November 25th, 2012, 03:09 AM

Just finished the final episode. Outstanding game, right up there with Xcom as my favorite games of the year.

krazy · November 25th, 2012, 05:02 AM

I'm going to order the collectors edition from Game Stop that comes with the book.

YA but before you go running down there you should know its 70 bucks. Includes a special edition compendium that includes the first 48 issues. The compendium alone retails at $60.
