Telltale Games unveils the video game version of the highly-successful zombie-based comic series “The Walking Dead.” Unlike many video games that deal with monsters and zombies, “The Walking Dead” puts more weight on character drama over bloody violence, giving it a fresh take on this very gory genre.The game is a combination of point-and-click adventure and button-prompt action. Conversations rule most of the story, where you (playing the role of convicted felon Lee Everett) get to pick one of four dialogue options that may affect the story and your relationship with other characters. In other times, you are searching for items and fighting off zombies.
Although the fight scenes appear sparingly, the possibilities that you can do in it are almost limitless from axing ghouls in the head to stabbing them through the eye.
The story runs parallel to the series from the beginning of the outbreak. You play as Everett who, after a car crash on his way to jail, meets an orphaned young girl named Clementine whom he had to protect from the horde. Everett and Clementine seek for shelter and team up with other characters along the way.
This game is first of a five-episode series. “The Walking Dead” is now available on Xbox Live for 400 Microsoft Points (US$5).
