The Walking Dead 400 Days is a bonus episode to Telltale's The Walking Dead Season One, which is expected to bridge to gap into season two. If you haven't played the first batch of episodes then it's a point and click type of game, based on the comic series by Robert Kirkman. But you knew that already. Unlike the first five episodes of season one, 400 Days doesn't feature Lee, Clementine or any of the familiar gang. It's broken into five separate stories, each following a new character, Wyatt, Vince, Russell, Bonnie and Shell. 400 days have passed since the outbreak and the world went to hell. Each story picks up at a different point in time and culminates at the 400th day mark, with the players' choices determining how each character finds their way to the camp awaiting them in the final chapter - if they survive that is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icXre05VFx0 Because of the limited time spent with each character, we aren't able to bond with anyone in 400 days as we were with Lee and Clementine, but that won't stop you from feeling terrible when you leave a friend for dead - and you'll likely have to. There's still plenty of gut wretching drama, and it's as bold and ballsy as it's predecessors, staying true to the phenomenal and mental breakdown inducing first season. Again, I found myself curled up in a ball, weeping, repeating over and over 'I can't handle this.' This series is arguably the most mentally taxing, depressing, yet magnificent game of its kind, and The Walking Dead 400 Days is Telltale and DLC at its finest. Agree? Disagree? Have I missed something out? What would you choose as your favourite DLC of 2013? Let us know in the comments below.
