| The Walking Dead: Video Game (Posted on 11/1/12 at 8:15 am)
Has anyone else played this? I had heard good things, and picked it up on Steam's Halloween sale for $15, and I have to say it's fantastic. It's basically a point-and-click adventure, with a few quick time events thrown in. The writing and voice acting, however, is top notch. You have real, meaningful dialog choices that can affect the rest of the story.
It's been done in Episode format. Episodes 1-4 are out, and Episode 5 is in the works and will be the finale. I would say it's more based on the comic than the show, but it's really it's own story.
If it's still on sale, I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the Walking Dead.

It really is fantastic. All the choices you make seem to matter and you get very attached to the group members. I played through all 4 episodes in 2 days because it was incredibly addicting. Can't wait for episode 5.

Yeah, I finished Episode 4 this morning. My preggars wife woke me up at 4 and I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to play. I know there are some things that can't be avoided, but damn there are some heart wrenching scenes.

Being a part of PS Plus, they give you a couple of the episodes for free. I decided to play it last night since it was Halloween and it is really well put together! Very surprised and fun.

It's a great story and it seems really fun. I watch Pewdiepie play it and I can't wait for each episode to see what will happen.

My first playthrough I was really nice and did as many good things as I could. I also sided with Kenny and his family a lot. I think I may play through again as a total a-hole and side with Lily.

Do you know if they will be releasing anymore free through PS+? I am waiting on it and haven't seen episode 3 come up yet.
To the OP: the game is awesome.

Did not know this was on Xbox. Would like to know the answer to that question as well. I've almost bought it so many times for computer. Would love to have it on Xbox tho

I'm not sure. For the PC, the $15 paid for all the episodes.

Abso-freaking-lutely
That guy was a total a-hole that was blackmailing my ass, and he was a goner either way.
Plus if you don't Kenny becomes a total whiny arse bitch for the rest of the freaking game.

I was the same way, but when I pulled the trigger
I couldn't put it down. They went a long way to make you connect with the characters. Put it this way, for me, when I spared someone for a particular reason, that reason came true. If you know post apocalyptic scenarios, then this game is for you. Lets say you chose to save person A for their abilities, those abilities are put to good use but there is always a twist and the game is full of extremely hard decisions you dont have time to contemplate.
