Warning - if you haven't played Episode 1- here there be spoilers
Telltale have recently released the latest video in their excellent 'Playing the Dead' series about their episodic XBLA hit The Walking Dead, the previous installments of which we covered here and here (they're a great watch).
In the spoiler-laden video, the game's lead designers talk about the development and success of Episode 1 and also provide some tantalising teasers for Episode 2.
Apart from some general back-patting on the critical and commercial success of the opening chapter of their point-and-zombie-smash adventure, we also hear about some of the early development ideas of the game and how much the choices you make in the first episode affect the development and outcomes of your playthrough across the entire game - apparently, a lot.
There's also an interesting discussion on the nature of moral choices in games and the decision that the choices in The Walking Dead would carry emotional heft, avoid generic good vs. bad decision making and leave a 'thumbprint on the world'
If you haven't played Episode 1, I highly recommend you go no further. You have been warned.

The Walking Dead: Episode 1 is available now on XBLA for 400msp. Look for Episode 2 soon. |

707-701-DEAD is my area code! Reppin' the seven-oh-sev!
But really, cool video. Sounds like there's some heavy decisions coming up, if Episode 1 was only the training... Can't wait! |

| I'm still waiting for the inevitable "Collection" release, with all the episodes, with a total cost about 50% of buying them all individually. I love Walking Dead but won't be nickled and dimed to death by an episodic release. |

| I wanted to slap the presenter of this video, he seemed like a bit of an ass, and didn't really know what he was talking about. Was that meant to be an attempt at humour post credits? or is he just an ass? Either way, more Walking Dead, less this guy |

Seems like a pretty good deal regardless.Nor really, at least not for me. All 5 episodes will probably amount to 10-15 hours of gameplay tops. That's not worth $25 in my book when I can get full retail games for $15-20 off Amazon that last twice that long. |

I would rather play one episode of this game than hundreds of hours of the other garbage out there. |
