Walking Dead Game Episode 1 Review

    I am moments removed from beating the first episode of The Walking Dead game from Telltale games. There is an easy way to explain the game, do you remember those old choose your own adventure books? The Goosebump ones specifically? It is choose your own Walking Dead game and it is a good one, it sets the tone of the book perfectly while letting you choose the way the story unfolds. You are put in some tense situations where you have to answer quickly, those answer will shape how people look at you and how they treat you. This is stays true to the book where the characters are the story not the zombies, if you are a fan of the books you will love the game. The pace of the game is amazing, it is not an action game, it is a story unfolding in front of you. Thats not to say there isn't any action, the zombie scenes are brutal and you are forced to act quickly. The the game is right around 2 hours but do the math, $20 if you buy a 5 episode pass, thats $10 hours for $20 which makes it longer than Uncharted 3.  I would definitely recommend this for any fan of the series or any fans of good story telling.

Overall 9.0

Pros: Very much like the comic, good story telling, fun choose your own path, nice stylized graphics.

Cons: It is short but that is to be expected with the episodic format.

P.S I used the old Sly Comics grading format, what do you think?

Yeah.. I picked it up as well (and started reading the comics from your recommendation) and I liked it WAY more than I thought I would. Sometimes when I game I have a podcast or something going on as I play, not this. I couldn't miss anything! There are parts where you have to make choices and I felt I made a good one, but felt bad for the outcome. It's a great piece of story telling.
