That's exactly the case with Telltale's take on The Walking Dead, a new episodic adventure from the same studio responsible for Jurassic Park and Back to the Future. The Walking Dead Episode One: A New Day is where it all begins, and James "Jickle" O'Connor reckons they're on to something special here.
Find out why in his full review.

After reading this review it's won me over.
NB: I didn't even know this was a comic strip, when I saw the trailer I was looking for the tv show characters.

Telltale are a bit hit and miss. Poker Night at the Inventory was a bit glitchy but worthwhile. I wasn't quite taken by the BTTF series despite being a fan of the movies and wanting to see it succeed. Jurassic Park got quite poor reviews so I skipped it, but Walking Dead's hooked me.
It was somewhat stuttery in places like the review said but I didn't get a crash so that's a bonus I guess. I'm not sure which specific line of dialog was the absurdly bad one, but the entire battery puzzle itself did feel awkwardly forced and a bit daft.
I would sorta classify this as less 'game' and more 'interactive comic', but not in a demeaning way at all.
I'm liking the Mass Effect Lite approach they've taken where your choices get recorded in the save file.
It was short, but there's some hard choices that seem to have a large effect on the game so I reckon that might give it enough replayability to stretch the 10 hours into maybe 15-20.
Looking forward to episode 2!
