The Walking Dead: The Game (Season 1)

The Walking Dead: The Game. I started playing it because of the title (as i also love The Walking Dead tv-show) but kept playing it because it's an amazing, intriguing, emotional and well told game.

The Walking Dead: The Game is a game based on the same titled comic books of Robert Kirkman. Your character is Lee Everett, a convicted killer being transported to a prison in Georgia. Because of a strange zombie apocalypse Lee manages to escape. Soon he finds a little girl called Clementine who lost her parents in the apocalypse. Together they travel through a world invaded by the walking dead.

The Walking Dead truly is one of the best games i have played in years. It's divided in 5 different episode's. Call of Duty number 74, Fifa 2050 and Medal of Honor number 98. I enjoy those games but when you played one of 'em you basically played them all. The Walking Dead is a brilliant new kind of gaming experience. There isn't a lot of game play. You can walk around and click on things and there are a lot of dialogs where you can choose your lines. At first I thought that that was going to be pretty boring after a while but because of the magnificent story telling it never gets borring. In fact, you want more and more and more.

The game focuses on the story. You have to take a lot of emotional choices that wil follow you throughout the game. Are you gonna be the ruthless and hard guy or are you gonna be the forgiving nice guy. It's all up to you. After playing this game for a while you really feel like you are Lee himself. You are not just controlling a character.. You are there, it is you that is making all these hard decisions. They really get to you.

The character development is brilliant. They all feel human and real. You create a bond with them and you'll feel desperate when one of 'em doesn't survive. I can't really pick a favorite episode because they are all incredibly amazing. The story is so great that I even noticed that when I was playing the game people that were in the living room all sat down and watched as I was playing. And when something dramatic was happening they all reacted like they were watching a brilliant movie.

I can literally talk hours about how amazing this game is. The story telling is brilliant, the character development is amazing. To be honest, everything about this game is phenomenal. Just play it, make your decisions and experience your story. This game will go in the books as one of the most original and groundbreaking games in the history. I can't wait 'till Telltale games finishes and releases Season 2!
