Video Game - The Walking Dead: Season One (2012)


This game was created by TellTale Games based upon the hit Walking Dead graphic novel series. From what I gather, the only character that was integrated from the actual graphic novel was Glen however he does not remain in the game for very long. 

In this game you follow a convicted murderer who meets a stranded young girl and helps her survive through a zombie apocalypse.  Along the way you meet new characters and lose a few in your group.  The game controls are a lot different than any game I've played before and the game itself gives you the option to alter the story in many ways. This is a characteristic of TellTale's game style. Their games provide you with the option to make decisions based upon actions taken in the game such as saving one character over another which will ultimately alter your entire game moving forward.

This game also comes in "episodes" much like the show does and gives you the option to go back to previous episodes to replay your decisions. The replay value on this game is pretty high as you can keep going back and making different decisions over and over again.

I have given this game a four for being very entertaining and by keeping you on edge wondering where your actions will take you next.

P.S. Clem will pull those heart strings each and every time.
