The Walking Dead sales climb to 8.5 millions

Telltale Games saw huge success in 2012 with the release of The Walking Dead as an episodic series, with the game now at more than 8.5 million individual episodes sold since launch. More on that after the jump.

gotta try this game soon. I need to overcome my instinctual rejection of all TV/movie-based games

I got episode one today. So far, I am really enjoying it.

This game is far better than the TV show. I got all 5 episodes for $10 and I'm very much enjoying it.

The game is based on the comic not the TV series. It's amazing and you owe yourself to give it a try :)

Good for them, they better invest more in the upcoming season to reduce the amount of technical errors, maybe ditch the cell-shaded graphics too.

Tell Tales Walking Dead takes a giant dump on the twd tv show in my opinion. Don't be AFRAID!!!!!

[ABizzel1]

Every once in a while there's a good one. Chronicles of Riddick, X-Men: Origins Wolverine, and a few others.

However, this isn't based on the TV show, as this game is an actual part of the canon featuring a completely new set of potential survivors.

Anywho I want to know are those total sales from the entire series, or is it really 1.7 million in sales per episodes 1 - 5.

i tried the free episode... got bored half way thru didnt excite me.

You really should try to finish the episode, at least play up till the 2nd episode. If you still don't like it thats fine..

But considering the 1st episode is by far the weakest out of the 5, you really should try more.

2nd favorite game of the year. A must play.

Awesome game and look it doesn't have MP mode. Just goes to show that not every game needs it *coughgodofwarcough* humm..... *coughtombraidercaugh*

[medman]

Yeah, I picked this up during the xbox christmas countdown for 10 dollars. So far I'm enjoying it. For ten bucks I couldn't go wrong.

Think the episodes got progressively better. First one was good but thought maybe the overall the games would be overrated. By the end of ep. 5 I was crying, prob the first time ever in a game (not sad, literal tears falling from my eyes, weren't pouring but they were there) and extremely satisfied with my purchases.

Everyone who hates the game eaither hasn't played it or only played episode 1.
