State of Decay vs. The Walking Dead

I think we've probably played enough of both to form some opinions. Granted, where the story goes and ends with SoD could sway this. Either way, both great XBLA downloads

IMO:

TWD
Pros:
-Great story
-Relatable characters
-Great ending (I won'ts spoil it)
-Decision making

Cons:
-Point and click can get boring
-It seems like no matter what decision you make, you'll end up where the game wants you


Neither pro nor con:
-pretty much linear

SoD
Pros:
-Open world
-Very realistic
-Tons of options
-Decent combat system for what it is
-Critical thinking and decision making a must

Cons:
-Super glitchy (can be fixed)
-No save option (auto save only)
-Can be a grind at times
-AI can be dumb as hell sometimes

Overall...I'm going to have to go with SoD at this point. The open world and in-depth options put it over the top. Not a very in-depth storyline (at least not yet, as I haven't followed the "main quests" much) but you can feel yourself making decisions you'd really make yourself during Z-day. The story and characters are top-notch in TWD, but in SoD it's so realistic. You have a real good feeling in TWD who will live and die. In SoD, you just don't know what the hell is gonna happen. For all its glitches and some of the stuff that could have been done better, for a new devs first game of this scale, I give Undead Labs an A+ on this one. Looking forward to more games from both TellTale and Undead.
