The Walking Dead: Episode 1 - A New Day Previews

"The first episode of Telltale's game based on The Walking Dead is out, and it's... actually pretty good! Check out our review of Episode 1: A New Day..."

"While The Walking Dead’s first episode “A New Day” doesn’t have the bulk it needs to be appealing to all audiences, it has several elements that make it a unique and unforgettable experience. In particular, its genuine atmosphere and critical choice system build an excellent foundation heading forward to other episodes. Playing one way will yield drastically different results in other episodes, which means The Walking Dead is more than meets the eye. If you’re still really skeptical, perhaps you could wait for the next episode to soar above and beyond. People who are less die-hard and would want to dive into an adventure are definitely on the right track choosing for this superb narrative."

"In the first of five episodes, you take on the role of Lee Everett, a man who may or may not be a killer. About the time Lee is getting transported to prison, the zombie apocalypse starts and gives him a "get out of jail free" card."

"Overall this is the best Telltale game I’ve played, and I really enjoyed Back to the Future. That isn’t all, I will have to go on and say it’s one of the best zombie games I’ve played too simply because I’m a huge fan of not only The Walking Dead, but a fan of a game focusing on story above all else. The game blows you back even further with the comic book style views and graphics, along with the awesome voice over cast and sound effects. Both of which we talked about in our preview! The game is only 4.99, or 19.99 for 5 episodes and to me that feels like an absolute steal. The episode lasted a little bit over 2 hours for me. Thinking about it, if you are a fan of the show, 1 episode a month for 5 months….the 3rd season will almost be on TV when the final episode releases!"
