First 10 minutes PC PS4 Xbox One Xbox 360 PS3 Vita

After invading old gen consoles and PC, the first two seasons of The Walking Dead are now available on Xbox One and Playstation 4. If you have never player either one and you are longing for an immersive story that makes you care for its protagonists, look no further. It's just a shame the first season you can see here is still plagued with technical issues, with slowdowns and even blinking character models impacting a bit on the overall experience. Everyone knows that Telltale's engine isn't the series' strong suit, but it's high time they start putting some effort into it. I mean they have made enough money in the past few years to optimize their games, haven't they? Anyhow, it's still a great game, which I guess is the bottom line at the end of time. As usual with our Xbox One coverage, we have to thank the Xbox Network for sending us this digital copy of the game.

High quality stream and download

Hmm with so many projects in the pipeline I would hope this studio would start expanding their team. Or have multiple teams working on the different projects AND multitude of platforms these games will come to too.

The miss-spelling of the title makes it sound like a cheap knock off of the Telltales series. :)

They should just ditch their current engine and go with the Unreal Engine 4 imo. I really hope that they won't go "painterly" style again for their upcoming GoT game...

I thougth the "painterly" style did not harm the game.
An artistic style helps transporting the story. If the game would be photorealistic it would be a lot harder to convince in the same way and transport similar feelings.

I played The Walking Dead on my iPhone with earplugs and couldn't stop playing until it was finished. Really loved this first game.
