Telltales ‘The Walking Dead’ Arrives In UK Retailers

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Iain Geddes

Telltale Games has announced that The Walking Dead Game will now be available in many game retailers around the UK. It will be available on PC, PS3 and XBOX 360. The game was originally available only as a digital download which proved to be popular enough due to the millions of copies sold, so the fact that it’s now in store will guarantee even more sales.

“Telltale Games… announced today that the award-winning game series The Walking Dead is now available for purchase from UK retailers on Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and PC.

Published by Telltale Games and distributed in the UK exclusively by Avanquest Software, The Walking Dead game was originally an English-only digital download when the series debuted in April 2012. This new retail release includes subtitled versions in French, Italian, German and Spanish for the first time. It compiles all 5 episodes in the critically-acclaimed first season of the game on one disc.

The Walking Dead is set in the world of Robert Kirkman’s award-winning comic book series. Players experience life-changing events, meeting new characters and some familiar to fans of the comic book series, in events that foreshadow the story of Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes. The Walking Dead offers an emotionally-charged, tailored game experience – a player’s actions and choices affect how their story plays out across the entire series.”

Telltale Games have confirmed they are currently working on a second season to The Walking Dead Game which they plan to release in Fall of this year. I predict it will probably be released along the same time that Season 4 premiers on TV which will be in October.

First Gameplay Trailer for The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Iain Geddes

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct now has it’s first official gameplay trailer which you can check out below. The trailer is 1 minute and 18 seconds long and gives us an idea of how the game is going to look and feel. According to Amazon, this game is set for release on March 19th for PS3 & Xbox, and March 26th for the WiiU.

The below trailer features footage from the Gamestop exclusive downloadable content which is being called the ‘Herd Walker DLC’ – It’s not footage from the main game itself.

“The dead need no rest – will you? Take on endless waves of walkers, each more dangerous than the last in the all-new Herd Mode. Each wave of undead held off brings with it a new outbreak of hungry biters and new opportunities to rack up an even higher score. How many frenzied flesh-eaters can you survive against before joining their ranks?”

If you’re interested in Pre-ordering this game, whether you are interested in the bonus DLC or not, there are two options currently available in North America. Amazon.com is offering the Walker Execution Pack, which includes exclusive weapons: a survival knife, kukri, combat axe, machete, and an advanced machete. Those who pre-order the game from Gamestop can dress like Daryl when they receive their Walker Ear keychain. Gamestop also has an exclusive game mode, referred to as the “Herd Mode Challenge” which is shown in the trailer above. For some more details on the game make sure to read on below.

“…The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is a first-person action survival game that brings to life the authentic, heart-stopping horrors of the AMC Emmy® award-winning TV series The Walking Dead. In the game, players assume the role of the crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon (voiced by Norman Reedus from AMC’s hit TV series) alongside his brother Merle (voiced by costar Michael Rooker). Together, they embark on a haunting, unforgiving quest across the Georgia countryside.

Players will need to tread carefully throughout this grim adventure, as resources are scarce and hope even scarcer. From scrounging for weapons, food and water to surviving encounters with the undead and the living, gamers will have to use their wits to stay alive in this terrifying, post-apocalyptic world. Do you risk using stealth to go in close for a quiet kill, attack from a distance and hazard attracting a swarm of walkers, or avoid the battle and live to fight another day? Helping survivors can bring benefits — but can you afford to trust everyone you meet? Every path, every action, every choice has a consequence. At the end of the world, no place is truly safe.”

As you can see above, this game will be available on PS3, XBOX 360 & Nintendo Wii U

First Gameplay Footage & Screenshots from The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct

Posted on December 25, 2012 by Iain Geddes

the walking dead survival insticnt gameplay footage

Check out the video below which shows the first gameplay footage so far of The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, the upcoming game by Terminal Reality/Activision which features the Dixon brothers on their journey to Atlanta. This game is scheduled to be released in 2013 and will serve as a prequel to the TV Series.

Game Features

An engrossing single player campaign that lets players experience the world of The Walking Dead through the eyes of fan-favorite, Daryl Dixon.

A unique style of gameplay that blends first-person action with resource management for a focus on surviving the undead nightmare.

Authentic character design and frighteningly realistic animations. Walkers look, move and react to sights, sounds and smells just the way that they do in the hit television show.

An emphasis on survival – every threat needs to be assessed and every situation analyzed. Players will choose whether to stay and fight while risking a gruesome death or using stealth to avoid the undead. Resources are scarce and scattered; gamers will have to not only ration supplies, but carefully consider their food, medical needs, ammunition, and other goods as survival in the game is based upon wit and intellect more so than simple, sheer skill.

Decisions matter as Daryl will encounter a slew of characters that can help or hurt him in a variety of ways; whether or not they accompany him is completely up to the player and represents just some of the major decisions that will constantly be made.

Terminal Reality’s using their proprietary Infernal Engine and wealth of experience to create an amazing experience for both fans and newcomers alike.

As the Curtain Closes – The Walking Dead Episode 4: Around Every Corner Review

Posted on November 4, 2012 by antonymaldonado

The end is nigh, and if the penultimate episode is any indication, it won’t be pretty.

In the latest installment of the now epic episodic content from Telltale Games, we find Lee and company nearing what appears to be the end of their journey. As expected, this episode will be the last stop for some, as Telltale continues their brutal rampage through your psyche. Yet the question you should ask yourself isn’t, “Who’s next?” but rather, “Would I save them if I could?”

It’s an important question, because up until now Telltale Games has done a fine job weaving together a fiction that is compelling and gritty. They have crafted a masterpiece in which you feel for every character. You begin to understand how they work, and just when you believe you’ve pegged someone, the tables are turned and tossed aside. One moment, you hate their guts and everything about them, and the next minute you find yourself at the crossroads of Bad Decision A, Worse Decision B, Terrible Decision C, and Shit-Really Decision D.

This is the life Lee and Clementine survive through. They both push forward, guided by what could potentially be the only instinct man has left: survival.

When death surrounds you at every corner, you’re more worried about seeing that next sunrise than what’s on channel 35. It’s a cold truth that many of us can only swallow with the right substance. The Walking Dead is that substance. Why else do we come back month after month, episode after episode? I doubt any of us are expecting a happy ending; we’re too jaded for that.

Or are we too aware? Have we all come to the bone-rattling conclusion that life doesn’t always have a happy ending? Especially when you are the walking dead?

Whatever the reason, we return to our respective helms deep inside the mind of former-History professor, Lee Everret and his young ward, Clementine. We return to watch over them. We return… for Clementine.

That’s my main reason. I started out this adventure hoping to see the zombie apocalypse play out before my eyes. What I ended up seeing through these four progressively disturbing episodes, was how I would play out in a zombie apocalypse.

Every decision I made was electrically charged with a prime directive I could never override: For Clementine. That little girl wormed her way into my heart and kept it beating long after the dead killed it. Even Duck found a special, annoying place in my thoughts. These children, though they are made of polygons and pixels, are as real to me as my own niece. I want to protect them like I would protect her.

However, there is always a price. Some decisions cannot be unmade. Worse yet, the impact of your unsaid words weighs far heavier than those you breathed into existence. Not every decision is for the good of your ward; the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

Horrible truths come out to drape their sickly comforts among the weary survivors from Macon, Georgia. The cold fingers of Death grip tightly the same controls you do, and the cliffhanger of the penultimate episode strikes deeper than any before it. The everlasting question reveals itself as the one and only truth: How far will you go for Clementine?

Around Every Corner clocks in at roughly three and a half hours from start to finish. Aside from lag issues that surfaced in Episode 2, there were no game-ending glitches from my play-through to report. Telltale Games get a great job fixing the save file issue, so as long as you have the most recent version of the game you shouldn’t worry.

The penultimate episode precedes the finale, which should be released sometime in November, as well as the retail release of the entire 5-episode collection! Retail copies are scheduled for a December 4th, 2012 release. This shouldn’t be taken as a concrete date, but fans should definitely consider reserving their copy of the collector’s edition, as the goodies are too good to pass up.
