Presenting an original story in the same franchise as the comic book series of the same name, The Walking Dead is a five-part adventure game from Telltale that follows the story of a convicted murderer, his guardianship over a young girl, and his co-operation with a roaming group of survivors in a zombie apocalypse.
I played it on my Mac. It ran decently. Really the only real issues were the previously on Walking Dead segments which seemed to lag and I thought using the mouse when the camera was moving and you had to click on something attacking you sucked.
Other than one point in a train station where it abruptly switched to a D-pad configuration (HOW DO I PRESS RIGHT ON A MOUSE WHEEL?), I never once felt restricted by the controls. Which can be a thing when screen shake is in effect and you're like "GRAB THE FUCKING LEDGE, LEE"

Had the EXACT same issue on PC. Other than that single issue it ran and played excellent on my PC.
PC since, if anything ever messes up (like my goddamn save not being read when I quit out of Ep. 4 midway through. Damn you, gwhitta!), you can easily make an attempt at fixing it.
I had pretty minimal problems on the PS3. Besides two hard locks, it was relatively smooth and I never had any of the crazy save issues that people seem to be getting on the PC.
I've only experienced the PC version, which was fantastic, so that would be the platform I would recommend. However, I do play it with a controller in my computer-chair, so I cannot see the console version being any less of a great experience. Also, I can't imagine the iOS version being as good (not that it's bad) as the PC/Console; simply due to the fact that it's very engaging and hard to put down once it's begun rolling.
I've heard the PS3 version has the least issues with saves getting overwritten. I've heard people on the PC and Xbox versions both complaining about that (myself included).
