The Walking Dead Game!!!

Yes, you've heard correctly folks; there will be a Walking Dead Game!!! This game was actually announced in February but there have yet to be any in-game images until now!
 In development by Telltale Games, makers of such games as Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. (Click Here for a full list of their games) Now, from the image to my right, we can learn a lot about this game. The designers have stated that they want to stay true to Adlard's drawing design so they've opted to give the game an ink and watercolor effect. And, to make things even more awesome, it's gonna be in 3D!!! I'm not sure yet but I think it won't be quite true 3D, but just multiple background and foreground layers working together to give the player a 3D effect.
  While reading the article on this game, i couldn't help but be reminded of the ever-popular Fallout series. The designers have stated that the game will weigh heavily on decision making in not only zombie threats but human interactions as well! There will be instances where your game play can be effected by choosing who you want to save and who you don't. It was stated that the game is:

"stuffed with moment-to-moment micro-choices. [We've created] a game more experiential than your typical horror game…. Players will be forced to make hard decisions over the course of the game, whether to save the life of one person over that of another’s…”

 Pictured above is Lee Everett. He, after some help from a zombie apocalypse, has managed to escape out of a prison transport bus in Georgia and is thrown into this world of zombies. Along the way, he finds 7-year-old Clementine. You play as Lee and the game can only get better from there.
  One of the things about this that I'm most looking forward to is being able to see the apocalypse from someone else's view. Not to say that I'm tired of Rick, but a new perspective is nice. 
  One of the things I'm most looking forward to is the "episodic" feel of the game. This leads me to believe that the game will feel more like the comics; the end of a chapter hooking you into the next, compelling you to read the next page or, in this case, play the next chapter.
All in all this seems like it's gonna be an "unprecedented event in the gaming community!" I look forward to hearing more about it in the future and I'll keep you all updated when I find out more.

Special thanks to Daily Dead News and their tweet and article that led me to this game.
