The Walking Dead is the first game in a series of Telltale games based on the comic book and television series. With exceptional storytelling and character development, it is considered one of the best narratives of its era. The game begins in the early days of a zombie apocalypse and follows Lee, who saves a young girl named Clementine, and looks over her as they attempt to stay alive and find safety in any way they can. Along the way they meet several other characters that they team up with. Lee and Clem share many heartfelt moments as he teaches her whatever he can to prepare her for the challenges ahead. The point and click gameplay mechanics are simple and the game is generally quite linear. The game shines with its emotional twists, and delivers a plethora of figurative gut punches as the player has to make difficult, and often split second decisions that will impact outcomes and character relationships. The pacing is generally solid although there are occasions where things slow down a little too much. The eerie score creates a lot of tension and the voice acting performances really allow each character to shine. The cell-shaded visual art suits the comic book style and the game has a very cinematic feel to it. The Walking Dead will probably keep you thinking about it long after its conclusion, as story driven experiences at this level are few and far between.

This game is just pure art. Great story, well written characters and cool comic style graphics.

If you are looking at this while at sale or someone recommmended it, just give it a try. You won't regret it.

Oh, and don't let them bite you.
