Whoa, Christmas really has come early with the sheer amount of incredible freebies lately. Well get ready for a doozy: the first episode of Telltale's Walking Dead: The Game [Free] is currently free for some reason. Why is it free? Don't concern yourself with such things, just get to downloading already. Walking Dead: The Game is an episodic adventure game set in the same universe as Robert Kirkman's critically acclaimed Walking Dead comic series. Its hook is that it presents you with incredibly tough choices thoughout the story, and your choices affect things that happen later in the game. Telltale has pulled this off with varying degrees of effectiveness, but despite that the emotional aspects and the connections with the characters in the game are what people have really been applauding about Walking Dead, and everyone seems to have it in their running for Game of the Year this year. Heck, at the Spike VGAs this year it did win Game of the Year, among other awards.
If you need to know more about Walking Dead: The Game, you can check out our full review of all 5 episodes. Since its an episodic game, we made our review episodic as well, reviewing each episode as it came out and adjusting our feelings and ratings as needed based on the new content. It ended up being a 5 star game as a whole, but let me warn you that Walking Dead is something that's best experienced spoiler-free, so my advice is to just download this sucker and have at it fresh.
It's also worth noting that this is just the first episode being offered free, and episodes 2-5 are available through IAP for $4.99 each or as a bundle for $14.99. You're still saving yourself a fiver though, and since this first hit is free chances are pretty good that if you enjoy it you'll be springing for the rest of the episodes. But seriously, stop reading right now and go download this first episode of Walking Dead: The Game for free, and tell every zombie-loving person you know to do the same.

This is perfect for those of you who wanted to try it out before you buy it. You can download it now for free on iPad, iPod or iPhone.

Thanks for the heads up, will try it on my phone.

I don't know much about it, it's just essentially a story-based, point-and-click, QTE game right?

[DarkVincent07]

Awesome I'll try this on my phone and if I like it I'll import the newly released PS3 compilation + Rep

[bigCman123]

Awesome, I didn't even know it was available for ios. I've been meaning to check this out since I heard it got GoTY and I checked out some reviews. Downloading it to my ipad right now.

Yep, that's exactly what it is. The story is really good and your actions also have consequences.

[Dave-The-Rave]

Just a warning, apparently this is one day only so you should jump on it ASAP.

I'm Android too..but already completed it on the PS3 so don't really mind.

its good, but not amazing, had me gripped at a few moments but i wouldnt buy the other episodes especially at 2.99 a pop considering how short the first episode is.

[meinquellbrunnen]

thanks for sharing. Is the Game only available for apple? And not for Android?

[Dave-The-Rave]

Nope I have an Android phone and its not release on it unfortunately, though the first episode is now free on XBLA too.
