The Walking Dead Video Game


I'm down on record as a Zombiphile, and fan of both Comic and T.V. series of The Walking Dead, so when I tell you that the 5 episode The Walking Dead video game is one of the best games I've ever played, you are probably taking it with a grain of salt... But put the salt down,sign up to Steam and download it!
It is a game that transcends gaming,;even the casual gamer and luke warm Zombie fan should appreciate this incredible example of compelling story telling, genuine role-playing and terrible, difficult decision making with real consequences.

World War Z is one of my favourite books. The movie is written by one of my favourite T.V. series creators... The trailer looks good... But it kind of goes against a lot which made the book great- BUT, it's too early to tell, fingers crossed.
