The pinnacle of Telltale Games' narrative-driven interactive dramas, The Walking Dead is a raw, pure story of survival, quite unlike any other game. You don't have an arsenal of weapons to count on, nor replenishing health bars or some kind of energy levels, instead it's the power of speech and reason that'll keep order among your group of survivors. Yet as the game goes on, it becomes clear that not everyone is going to make it through this tale in one piece. Death is everywhere, and ultimately your priority becomes protecting the young girl, Clementine. Keeping her alive is one thing, but her innocence amidst the carnage means that you're also desperate to keep her sheltered from the horrors surrounding you. While things fizzle a bit in the second season, the first is masterful, tragic piece of storytelling that proves high-end graphics and action-packed gameplay aren't essential to a gripping experience.
