I didn't know what to expect when I got this as part of bundle. I assumed it was just another first person shooter. Luckily it's not, it's something entirely different. Something else that The Walking Dead is not, however, is a game. It's an interactive story at best. Even interactive is giving it too much credit.

As a player, you're very limited in how you can interact with the world. All you have to do is press a button once in a while and select topics of conversation. The Walking Dead lets you think that your decisions have consequences, but really, they don't. The story line is fixed. You're tricked into thinking you could have saved someone's life but in the end, nothing you decide has a significant impact on how the story evolves.

So why give this a thumbs-up then? Well, the story itself is an incredible emotional journey. Even though I realized early on that decisions don't have an impact, I still tend weigh my decisions very carefully. I haven't finished the entire story yet, but I'm already looking forward to Season Two.
