The Walking Dead Game!!???? sdfbnsjncskcks!!


I found this trailer online just browsing around for new games coming out that may interest me and one i saw straight away was the walking dead i almost had to hold a yelp in because i'm absolutely walking dead crazy. I watch the tv show religiously and have a very strong opinion on what goes on in each episode and for a game to come out that lets me make the decisions that effects wether i live or die in this world was just so exciting for me. 
As soon as i found out i downloaded it off xbox live, turned down the lights for effect and played it on the biggest tv screen i could find. As soon as i started playing i was drawn in straight away. I liked the comic book feel to the graphics as it kept the feel of the graphic novel alive which was great to see. The actors the brought in for the voices really fit the characters they played so i could see straight away that a lot of thought and time had gone in to make this a hit. 
The game play is like nothing i haven't really seen, you are given a cursor to hover over objects which you can pick up and if a zombie is attacking you you may trip and become disorientated which makes the screen blurry and makes your cursor much slower, if you react too slowly and don't use the cursor correctly and miss the opportunity for you to for example press the A button and stab a zombie in the head with your screw driver then i'm sorry but - Your dead. And from this you get to see a great killing scene of you being malled alive by a very hungry zombie. 
Another thing i loved about the gameplay was the kind of mass effect feel to the conversation options, everything you said or did was remembered by the characters you interacted with, this would effect your gameplay later on and the levels that will be released later on too as they are being released like tv episodes which i think is a very good marketing idea. 
I highly recommend giving this game a go as it creates a great atmosphere or suspense and scariness, plus it only costs 400 Microsoft points - About £3.50!! Bargin!
