Since I recently played the walking dead game, I figured I would make a thread to gush about it here
First off, I've not read the comic, and I'm a passing fan of the show (I thought season 1/2 went between good and meh, the latest is pretty good though), though I am a big fan of the zombie-genre in general.
That out of the way, I think this is one of my "game of the year" titles from 2012. Gameplay wise, its solid but nothing amazing, basically point and click adventure game with quicktime events. But story wise it is amazing. The rails that the story has shows at times, but you have a bit of freedom along the way to give the personality you want (so long as you realize that ultimately not everything is in your control).
Basically, its an amazing interactive story with some game on the side. I've not read the comics, but I think the game really trumps the show. And its one of the few games that actually made me -feel- something to it, and was genuinely worried/care about the fate of the characters.
