The Walking Dead: 9 Reasons The Game Is Better Than The Show

When was the last time you truly cared about the characters in the show? Exactly.

Ever since The Walking Dead premiered on AMC, its audience and influence has continued to grow every year. The spin-off, Fear The Walking Dead, had its second season confirmed before any of the public had even seen one episode. Millions and millions of people are following the story of Rick Grimes and his fellow survivors, and it isn€™t just a show or comic book anymore - it's a full blown worldwide phenomenon. Existing now in many forms, the comic is still going alongside several video games adaptations and now the two television shows. The most popular is still the original show, but is it the best? By all accounts, the best form of The Walking Dead is the video game series made by Telltale, embodying and expanding on every aspect of creator Robert Kirkman€™s original intentions. As a series, it was always meant to probe more questions about humanity than it answered - something that across the board always truly makes for the best works of zombie fiction. How do normal people survive a struggle on such a wide scale? How would we adapt over time? Who will be able to cope with the new status quo and who won€™t? Contemplating these questions and our own answers is what brings such a large audience to The Walking Dead, but it's the Telltale games that remain the purest form of exploring such themes in the best way possible.
