Telltale Games runs away with my Game Of 2012 title!
Written by Michael
When the developers of Playstation's Back To The Future series announced that they were developing a series of short chapters for Walking Dead, a lot of fans of the comic and tv show did not have high hopes for this game. However, after playing all 5 chapters of the game, I can say that I have never ever been as emotionally involved in the characters and storyline with any game, as I have this one!
You start the story in this point-and-click story game by taking the form of Lee in the back of a police car being escorted to prison. As it becomes apparent that the world has changed forever, he meets a young girl by the name of Clementine and from then onwards you are sucked into how this story will end.
The game is more of a story teller than an actual game. In fact, action scenes are few and encourages you to get to know each character in the game and invest in there past and future by making decisions throughout each episode, which ultimately will decide the fate of everyone you meet.
With nerve racking chapter finales, and decision making leaving your finger nails hardly there, this will leave you wanting to continue playing even after the final chapter has ended. Good news also, Telltale have announced they will be making a second series of The Walking Dead. So fans, the story is not yet over.....
With the game available as a download, gamers not able to purchase this through the PSN store or xbox dashboard fear not, as a retail disc is due to be released next week!!
Summary
In short this game is freaking awesome! I have never been so emotional playing a game as I have with this one. Any zombie fan MUST get this game Easily, my game of 2012.
9.5 out of 10
Mind blowing story telling, both horrifying and emotional. A MUST buy!
