It totally hooked me in.
Whether it's really a game is debateable but it was incredibly entertaining and easily one of my favourite gaming experiences of the year. Go for it.

Started this yesterday and I'm loving it!!
Loving the graphical style, gets a little juddery what with loading different choices and stuff but, yeah, lovely.
Voice acting is pretty sound though sometimes you go from calm to SHOUTY for no reason, again, based on choices you make.
Just coming up to the end of episode 2
what a twist that was. Yummy!
Cant wait to play more tonight.

Just purchased the season pass for the game on PS3 after months of hearing good things, played through episode one entirely and thought it was superb.
Jurassic park really disappointed me thats why i hadnt got this in until now, but its easily a game of the year contender for me.
Loved the cameos by some of the main characters too!
I have a feeling its only going to get better...

Just finished this and now and I am emotionally exhausted! Absolutely superb storytelling. Deserving of Game of the Year even though it has very few gaming elements (and the choices don't make TOO much of an impact, I have found out - Heavy Rain made better use of this). As a fan of the comics I don't think this could have been done any better and now cannot wait for season 2!

I've heard nothing but praise for the comics, while the tv has, rightfully, had its share of criticism (not enough, of course). After progressing with the comic, I can easily say it's just as bad as the worst parts of the tv show, and I'm baffled by the praise that it receives. Kirkman simply cannot write. Like, at all.
He wasted about 3 or 4 pages to tell the painfully dull story of how Lori and Rick met, and then ended it with Lori saying "I told you it wasn't interesting". If EVEN YOUR OWN CHARACTERS are saying that the story you're telling isn't interesting, and it isn't relevant to the plot, and you're not telling it in an interesting way - WHY ARE YOU TELLING IT!?
It's equally as poor as the hilarious "black dude's gaze" **** from the spectacularly awful novel.

The Wolf Among Us.
"You won't have to wait for season two to play more Walking Dead," Telltale Games writer Gary Whitta said in February. "I can tell you what you already know, which is season two is coming. There's not much to say because it really is very early, it's a way off.

Finished this yesterday and although some of the events that occurred in the later/final chapters were pretty expected they were still handled dramatically and in fantastic fashion. I feel I got my ?15 worth that I paid for the disc version and will sometime in the future give it another playthrough whilst trying to make opposing choices to the ones I went with on the first completion.
I do wonder if
the majority of choices you make that are remembered/impact Clementine will have effects in the future if she is to be brought back for the 2nd Season or sometime after that. I think it would be an interesting additional and help to link both seasons together (which can't be a bad thing as this one was fantastic).
In any case, sometimes it takes a smaller company to show how dramatic and impactful gameplay can be done correctly. Time to pay attention big corporate publishers. Well done Telltale Games, more please...
