(XBLA) The Walking Dead

No thread yet?!!!

So yeah. Its gonna be an adventure game developed by Telltale Games. Its based on the comics rather than the TV show. It will be released in 5 separate episodes via XBLA, the first of which will be released at the end of next month priced at 400 ms points!

Also sounds like there might be some kind of a discount if you pay for all 5 episodes upfront.

Debut trailer!

Initial signs are its awesome!

Looks great, even though i have no knowledge of the show or comics.

Tried this today and really liked it.
Will Buy it tomorrow .

I just finished this and i have to say it was excellent - one of the best XBLA games ive played in a while, the decision making choices were very thought provoking

Bought it and finished it in just one sitting.
I'd say it's aound 2 hours to 90 minutes or so.
I'm really impressed with the pacing, the quality of the dialogue and voice acting and the choice system.
I think if you a fan of Mass Effect/Shenmue/old adventure games you should give this a try.
Looking forward to episode 2


I might checkout sam and max again because of this

Playing this on the PS3 because of the sub option. Bloody awesome.

So do these come out weekly or monthly or what?
xbox live isn't really setup for this kind of thing.
I was looking at the wallace and gromit games trying to figure out if they were episodes or full seasons or what....

Good question. Not sure, can't find anything on it.
No it kinda sucks you can't pre order the whole series.
There was definitely an episodic Wallace and Gromit game on the arcade a while back.

steam has a season pass which gives you all 5 as they get released.

It's coming out monthly. You can sub on every service except Xbox which is why I went to the PS3 for this. Its also cheaper if you sub.

I really wish they had Back To The Future and Jurassic Park on the 360.
I would really love someone like these guy or Rockstar on the otherside of the spectrum to do a Matrix game.
Why no one care about Matrix no more


Anyway.The choice you make in this episode were really great.
You don't really get time to pick so the pressure is on and its go.
I think it's pretty amazing how such a slow style of gameplay was able to have so much tension.

Can you buy it as an episode on the PC? Everywhere is just selling the whole lot in one go it seems.

Yeah its strange.
There's no single way of them selling this.
Maybe try their official Web site.
