One detail that I found pretty weird: the zombies in
The Walking Dead (the game) show what would seem to be pretty advanced signs of decomposition. Since Lee wasn't out of it for the first weeks of the zombie apocalypse, I'd expect fewer of the shambling corpses to look that bad already - unless they literally rose from the grave.
Well, he was also in the deep south in the summer, and things rot fast under that kind of temperature. Plus, they gotta look like zombies, ya'know?

For me, some of them looked half-skeletal already, at which point the whole shambling corpse thing becomes a bit difficult to swallow. On the whole I'd say the look of the walkers in the TV series is more plausible. Still, most of the time the undead were just the background to the human drama, so it's a very minor quibble on my part.

Finished all 5 episodes, this game, or rather interactive movie, is great. Gameplay-wise it's almost exactly like Fahrenheit or Heavy Rain, and it's involving, so people who like those two games will like this one too.

Why do so many hooplehead cocksuckers insist on calling adventure games something other than fucking adventure games? FFS

So other hooplehead cocksuckers can get needlessly worked up over definitions of games?

Fine. Planescape Torment is a point and click adventure and Mass Effect is a space sim.

OH NOOOOOO! :U
Seriously though, TWD isn't exactly a traditional adventure game. No constant inventory, very few areas you can visit at any given time, etc. I'd still say it's closer to adventure game than interactive movie, but I can understand why someone else might not.

Having just completed both seasons of the Walking Dead I'm surprised that there hasn't been much in the way of a dedicated thread for the second season. While there appears to have been general acclaim for the first season there is very little written about the sequel in GG. I went looking for a Walking Dead 2 thread rather than post in the mega but could only find one for the first game with discussion of the sequel being made throughout a variety of different posts including this one. Suprised if there wasn't one based on how much people here must have anticipated the next installment after Season 1.
Anyway, I just completed both seasons of The Walking Dead in the weirdest order. Unlike most of you this is how I experienced the game:
* S1 E1, no other episodes were available so I presumed that this was the end. I purchased S2 when it was on sale.
* S2 E6, "All that remains". No idea why it threw me straight to this one and I didn't notice until I reached the end of S2. I was seriously wondering where the hell Lee had got to and why I was suddenly playing as a little girl. Still, I got into it. By the end I was really annoyed that I still didn't have any closure...
* S2: E7, E8, E9 & E10. When I got to the end I had really been "dying" to know what happened to Lee and some of the others so looked online and found that I had obviously missed a "few" things.
* S2: E1
* And finally I went back and finished off the rest of series one.
* S1 E2, E3, E4, E5
It was interesting playing the game at times in retrospect given that unlike most players I had seen the end of Season 2 before many of the episodes. I feel that it is testament to the greatness of the game that this didn't detract from the experience -- I was still hooked like crack on this right up until the end.

re 400 days
I just completed this a few minutes ago and I must confess that unlike S1&2 I really didn't care about any of the choices that I made as, unlike the rest of series, there was insufficient time given to any scenario to care about any of the characters so I couldn't give a rat's ass about any of their problems...
