after the jurassic park game getting ripped to shreds i'm cautious about this one

Played through episode one of this over the weekend, I really enjoyed the game. I haven't played an adventure game in years, and I wasn't going to even bother playing this. I have to say though, cast your doubts aside and dowload the demo, because this game is really cool.

Yeah I've heard good things about the game. I will probably wait till all episodes are out though and play them all at once. Too many games in backlog.

I bought it. Haven't played it.

Kind of curious how this is going to work. Are they going to have 3 different canons for this format? TV is definitely does not follow the comic book, and the comic book is rightly what I'd call canon, so does the game intend to follow the comic, the tv show, or do it's own thing?

I can relate to that, my backlog is pretty large also.The game is about 2hrs in length at most, and I decided to play it in bite chunks instead.

Kirkman himself has said the game is canon with the comics. You run into characters from them and apparently it will fill in some info about them. I believe he said it runs concurrent to the series.

I DLed the game this weekend and finally got some time to play it last night. All I wanted to do was test it and next thing you know over an hour goes by! This game is awesome, I love the show and the comics and this definitely holds up very well. I urge everyone to who is a fan, to give it a go.

If episode 2 has you sitting around a farm without a zombie in sight doing bugger all then they are following the TV show

No, but you do visit Hershel's farm, and it's pretty cool.

Very pleased and surprised with the quality of this game after the stumble that was Jurassic Park, but it looks like Telltale got the mix right with the QTE-ish action and the traditional adventure component. If they can maintain this quality over the remaining four episodes, I'm confident in saying that we finally have a new classic to add to the list of all time great adventure games. This is a phenomenal opening episode and stays true to the comic's tone and themes.

gamestop has the walking dead season pass for $19.99, includes exclusive premium theme and all 5 episodes (Episode 1 Available Now, Episodes 2-5 To Be Released Monthly). just bought it and hopefully I'll get to play it later today.

The first two episodes are going to be free on PSN+ starting August 7th. Seriously good games... make sure you grab them.

So if anyone hasn't bought the episodes digitally (Ben), the disc release is coming Dec 4th. Seriously, check out this game if you haven't. Pretty big contender for my GOTY.
