    Emotionally investing

    Having been a fan of both the graphic novel and the TV series, it was surprising how long I put off playing this game. After picking up all five episodes on steam I finally dimmed the lights and began chipping away. Perhaps I was waiting till all the episodes had came out so I wouldn't be left wanting more after each cliff hanger.

    I found the mouse movements to be rather clunky on the PC version that was probably my only concern. The art style, story and quick time events make a great combination...and more than once I was caught off guard. The story still sticks to the rails in a lot of ways, but the comparison between your decisions and other players at the end of each episodes puts a nice touch on things.

    The game leaves you wanting more and could easily be played through multiple times whilst waiting for the next season.

      Compellingly Tells Expected Story of Archetypal Characters. 0

      The Walking Dead - Episode 1(PC) by branthog on April 26, 2012

      I haven't been overly enthused about the TV show since their storytelling began to decline in the last episode of the first season. I'm also tired of the same style of zombie games we keep getting, am not normally a huge adventure or point-and-click player, and have never liked the concept of "episodic content".However, I'm compelled by the archetypal characters and choices in the first of five bite-sized episodes of this Telltale game. (First episode clocks in just over two hours). It's more in...
