Wow, 800 for all five? That's like 10 bucks for the entire game. As much as I loved it, lesson learned if they release a season two. Should have played through the backlog and then picked this up.

Really glad now I held out on these deals of the day. 720 points for Borderlands and and now 800 for the entire Walking Dead. Score!

I ALWAYS prefer the disc...until now. The world has ended and everybody owes the Mayans an apology.

I normally am a disc guy (b/c I can resell it later), but with as cheap as this is, and having $5 in promo credit to burn at Amazon, I bought 800 points and got this. I hope it is as good as everyone says it is.

It's so cheap on XBL right now, you'd be a fool to pass it up. $10 for the whole thing! My only issue with it is the controls as my brain is hard-wired to invert the Y-axis with view/orientation/camera/however-you-wanna-say it, so it's a bit foreign to me with no option.
I haven't played the iOS version, but even playing it over AirPlay on an AppleTV, I'd still probably prefer the native Xbox implementation for theater gaming.

Yeah, the price is hard to pass up. I have much more time to game on my phone than my console, though, especially since this isn't a game I'd play with kids around. Hmm.

Played through about an hour of it. I like it, but it takes some getting used to since I've been playing Dead Island lately.

Re: The Walking Dead (Telltale Games)
Wow. What an enjoyable experience. I wanted to wait for the disc, but for the next one I'll have to get each episode as they're released.
It wasn't completely flawless, the decisions felt more arbitrary as the game went on, but I'm sure the feeling is different and I'm going to replay it eventually and do/say everything opposite just to see what it's like.
I loved the art design, great characters and story, great music. I loved the ending too. As my not-professional-storyteller sees it,
My most anticipated game for awhile has been last of us (I love post apocalyptic stories) but I can't imagine that game having any where near the impact this game had on me.
I played the sierra point and click adventure games back in the day, remember star trek and indiana jones too, but I haven't played a game like that in a really long time. This game has be itching for more, but I'm sure there aren't many that are this good. Any recommendations though?

I was going to hold out until the disc was a bit cheaper but the sale yesterday changed my mind. Not sure when I'll have the chance to sit and really enjoy this game but I couldn't resist a game that had gathered such a fan base and praise.

Re: The Walking Dead (Telltale Games)
Uh...wtf? I downloaded episode 4 and 5 yesterday off of live. And now...it's taking me back to Episode 1. And if I look at my stats for Episode 2 and 3 they're gone. 1 somehow still has it's stats. WTF?

Re: The Walking Dead (Telltale Games)
I have a question. I downloaded all the episodes for xbox and just finished playing the first episode. I assumed it would immediately start me on episode 2 but it didn't and took me back to the main menu after the credits ran.
So I loaded up the game, chose my old save and and the game automatically moved me to episode 2. But when the game starts up, it is the end of episode one again:
I don't really want to play that section again and then have it do the exact same thing again.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a glitch? I would hate to start episode 2 with a new save and thus forget all of my decisions since that is a key point of playing this game. Anyone?

You should be able to manually choose episode 2 from the game menu (and then select your save), try that. Then you'll be shown a "Previously on" video and the episode will begin.

It seems to only let you choose your save first and then choose the episode. And when I choose episode two, it just goes straight back to the part in episode one that I have played already.
It appears that it did not do an auto save when I finished episode one. Don't know how to fix that but it will suck going thru it once more and then it not save again.

I recall reading about people getting such a glitch when episode 5 was first released.

So all the achievements on this game are playthrough ones, right?
I'm almost done with episode 1. I'm pretty impressed. While I am not used to playing a game like this, I can honestly say it doesn't detract from how good it is. I like the decisions you have to make.
Are there any sites that show you the effects of your decisions? Like I've saved
and I'd like to see how that affects the game later.

This is cool, I didn't know Telltale had this on their website. Here are the % breakdowns of the choices that everyone picked, like they show at the end of each episode. Spoilers, obviously.
