The Walking Dead

Well, I just beat this game and I must say its a very deep story driven game that I think even first-time gamers could enjoy and anyone who enjoys the show will surely NOT want to miss it.

My preferred game is those that are story driven but this game is almost more of an interactive book to me than a game and that’s not a bad thing. It’s good because I think just about any level of player will be able to enjoy it. This game like most these days adapts to your decisions throughout the game, what you say… what you do… it all has an impact. The game was released in episodes however they are all released now so you can just get the whole game at once which is, what I recommend. The problem with the episodes is that waiting a month for the next one tends to make you forget the previous actions or decisions and thus, it’s harder to get invested. This game is all about the characters and the story so you want to stay connected until you finish it, it will be worth it!

I would give this game a 10/10.

The Walking Dead (also known as The Walking Dead: The Game)[7] is an episodic point-and-click adventure role-playing video game for iOS, OS X, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, based on Robert Kirkman‘s The Walking Dead comic book series. The game was developed by Telltale Games and was initially slated for release in the last months of 2011, but was held back until early 2012 to allow further time for development. The game consists of five episodes, released between April and November 2012. The iOS version of each episode followed shortly thereafter. Telltale has also published retail versions of the complete game.

The game takes place in the same fictional world as the comic, with events occurring shortly after the onset of the zombie apocalypse in Georgia. However, most of the characters are original to the game, which centers on university professor and convicted murderer Lee Everett, who helps to rescue and subsequently care for a young girl named Clementine. Kirkman provided oversight for the game’s story to ensure it corresponded to the tone of the comic, but allowed Telltale to handle the bulk of the developmental work and story specifics. Three characters from the original comic book series make in-game appearances; Hershel Greene, Shawn Greene and Glenn Rhee.
