The Walking Dead (Season One)

I'm guessing that there isn't a lot of people out there that isn't a fan of the TV show "The Walking Dead". Lets face it a TV show that revolves around a post apocalyptic world over run by zombies, well whats not to love! But have you ever been sat watching it and  wandered what you would do it that situation?

The Walking Dead game sees you in control of Lee Everett, a guy who as the outbreak begins, is being escorted by a police officer to be charged for murder. Its not long before you find yourself trying to figure out out how to survive this world that you have just been thrown into. Its not just about making sure that you survived the world around you though, Lee will find himself becoming the guardian of a little eight year old girl called Clementine. This becomes the main focus of the story, how you go about dealing with your new responsibility, how you will protect Clementine and the rest of the survivors you meet along your journey.
This is where The Walking Dead gives you the ability to shape the way this story plays out. As you play through the game, you will ultimately be presented with a lot of choices to be made. Some of these choices are just in things you say to other characters, but the other choices can be life and death. No matter what you do though, these choices influence the entire game.

The story is broken up in to five chapters, but all the choices that you make bleed through into the next installment, providing a steady flow in the way the story is told. There are a few hiccups in some of the dialog but its pretty easily overseen by everything else that goes on.
Even though the choices that you must make have a lot of influence in how the story plays out, you have to remember that Telltale made this game with the story in mind, so no matter what the end will always be the same, its just what happens in between that you are controlling.
This game will have you hooked from the very start to the very bitter end, craving more and more the further you get into it.

The graphics for The Walking Dead game are best described as a graphic novel style, which really adds to the atmosphere of the game. The voice acting, although it can be a bit patchy at times, is impressive most of the time given the way you choose the type of dialog you wish your character to have.
The Walking Dead is best described as a unique experience and in my own opinion is possibly one of the best games out there that even comes close to giving the player this much freedom to choose how things will go.

Recently Season One of The Walking Dead game has just received its first DLC called 400 days. The story itself centers around a truck stop diner where you will get to play out five very different stories of survivors during the 400 days since the outbreak began.

It was also reveled that The Walking Dead game would be getting a second season that will continue from season one.
Aside from a few technical hiccups, The Walking Dead game is a beautiful, well thought experience. I honestly cant put into words how highly i would recommend this game.
For the trophy hunters out there, this is possibly the easiest platinum trophy you will ever get your hands on.

I give The Walking Dead a 9.5 out of 10 and i honestly cannot wait for its future releases.
