IGN: "The Walking Dead: The Game demands to be experienced."

Before the announcement that a heavily narrative focussed Walking Dead video game was announced in 2012, Telltale games was a development studio that not particularly well known. Despite putting out other similar properties with Back to the Future: The Game and Jurassic Park: The Game, the products were largely met with a very mixed and ultimately tepid response from the public. The rampant acclaim and runaway success reached with The Walking Dead launched the developer into one of the most anticipated and favourable studios out there with one revolutionary product.
I think the walking dead story telling is amazing. I really love the games and think that they bring the respect of gaming story telling up in the world of entertainment in general :)
A reflection on the business perspective of Telltale Games.
My GOTY
I really am looking forward to the sequel. I hope the retail release gets this game more exposure.
I played the first episode on my 4s I loved it. Question does the other episodes play different depending on how I played the previous one?
I find it OK. It's got a good story, but I find it isn't really a game in the truest sense of the word. It's really more like a choose your own adventure novel than anything. I'm enjoying my time with it, but if you are looking for gameplay you'll be sorely disappointed. It's about listening and following along, character interactions and personal choice. I got it for 9.99 through gamefly, and at that price I'm happy with it. 24.99 for digital and 29.99 for physical seems too much for a game like this in my eyes, but it is definitely a change of pace so if fatigue from mainstream gaming is getting to you, or you want to relax with something at the end of the day, this will fit the bill.
