The Walking Dead is a episodic video game based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series. The game was developed by Telltale Games. The game will consist of five episodes, with the first episode released on 24th April 2012. Kirkman has said that, unlike typical zombie games such as Left 4 Dead, it will focus more on characterization and emotion than action.
The game will feature cross-genre of both adventure and action, in which, like in the previous Telltale titles, the player must make use of inventory items and environment, however, unlike in them, the played characters will have limited time to do so and could die in the process. The game is told from the point of view of a new character named Lee Everett, who will be the only controllable character in the game. Lee will however be able to interact with the other survivors and his actions will influence the plot in particular ways (like, for example, at some point Lee will have to choose whom to save from the dead, and therefore by letting the other individual perish, some of the game plot will change, while other remains unchanged). In addition, some characters from the original comic book series have been confirmed to make cameo appearances in-game. They will be Glenn and Hershel. Players will be able to meet them before the plot in the comic book begins to take place.
The Walking Dead Game will be available on multiple platforms via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X as well as iOS App Store (NOTE, Game will be released later on the iOS App Store)."
The game will be released in 5 Episodes with the following pricing: $5 per episode or $20 for the season pass (5 episodes).
IGN has been the first to review it and gave it an 8.5/10, Check out the video review here:

Unfortunately, I can't play it right away because my girlfriend is a huge fan of the series as well and wants me to wait. Or can I? :winky:
Well, I also love anything zombie. Never read the books, but I love the TV show. At any rate, I am excite!
$20 season pass is awesome too, you get an episode for free!

or do you get the following episodes after you make the purchase?
edit: Guess I should have logged into steam. Ugh this is so tempting. Is there any info on who the writers were?
Ophidian Wars: Opac's Journey
From reviews it sounds like mostly adventure staples blended with the occasional fight for your life against zombies. The coolest sounding thing about it is that there is apparently quite a bit of choice and people can live or die depending on your decisions. My high watermark for choice in games is The Witcher 2, but I'm hoping we get some tough decisions painted in lovely shades of gray here.
I am excite. This month and next are big TWD events. A new story arc has been officially started in the comic this month. The game just game out and next month we get two comic issues.
It's a good time to be a Walking Dead fan.
Monthly, I believe.
So its NOT out on XBL today?

I mean, XBLA is usually Wednesday. It is sad, but true.
I might cave and get it on PC just because I don't want to wait.
And I'm kinda getting attatched to these characters and don't want to get them killed. D:
Ah well, one more day wont hurt...

It will! That is why I might have it on 2 consoles. :-X
The two main issues I had with it were the audio quality (some voices are real soft, some real loud, and there was very obvious distortion and popping all over the place) and the inability to skip/speed through dialogue (you know, for repeats). Also, the voice acting is kind of garbage.
As an adventure game, it's fine I guess. The "puzzles" made sense and there were no cat hair moustaches to be seen. Then again, there were only two sequences you could really call a puzzle, everything else was straightforward and super linear "click everything on the screen" nonsense.
Was expecting more than a point and click adventure game, but if it's good I might check it out.

The first one is two, three hours.
edit: NEVERRMMIINNND. Found it on PS3. BOUGHT!
Episodic is better, because Telltale can and does take feedback into account for later episodes. By all accounts, Jurassic Park could have used some of that.
No! Go away!
I wouldn't mind a game for the show as well. The more Walking Dead, the better.
Planned on it, is it wrong to want his opinion since he's already played it?
As a fan of comics and show I can't wait to see how they show the characters.
Low quality
High Quality
I'm only about an hour in, but I've enjoyed it so far.
Also, make sure to pick up the pillow from near your starting position at the wall.
That seems like a driver/compatibility issue to me.
Drivers up to date? Do you have any global settings in your video card enabled? SLI? I've had very bizarre issues like this pop up that disappeared the moment I turned off SLI.
None of the p/reviews I've read have mentioned any bugs such as this one. That's not to say it isn't a bug, but I really suspect there's something going on with your setup in this case.
According to the Xbox blog its not out tomorrow either. I have no idea what's up with the Xbox release.
- The voices in a lot of parts need to be turned up, volume wise. The music is too loud in some parts and can drown out the dialogue.
- I noticed some minor audio crackling and graphical glitching, but that could just be on my end only.
- I live in GA so the names of towns and everything were 100% authentic, I thought that was pretty cool.
- The only part of the episode I really liked was towards the end,
Overall, it's decent. TellTale's games don't really blow me away usually so I didn't expect much from this one.
Electronic composer for hire.
I am pretty sure during my 360 Jurassic Park play through I had the same audio issues. They really need to fix this shit in future releases.
It's not up yet?
I pre-ordered it on their website because I assumed the pre-order contest wouldn't be available with any other method. Not just that, but it wasn't even on Steam at that time. Figures only a couple days later it pops up on Steam and the pre-order contest was available there too.
I hope this is up by the time I get home in about an hour.
I just....I...I have to wait a month?! Bastards!
