E3: A preview of Episode 1 of the iPad version of The Walking Dead game

At E3 we were treated to a hands-on preview of Episode 1 of the new iPad version of the The Walking Dead game from TellTale games.

The Walking Dead is a five-part, episodic game series set in the same universe as Robert Kirkman’s Eisner award-winning comic books. Play as Lee Everett, a man convicted of a crime of passion given a second chance at life in a world devastated by the undead. With corpses returning to life and survivors stopping at nothing to ensure their own safety, protecting an orphaned girl named Clementine may offer him redemption in a world gone to hell.

Key Features:

• A tailored game experience: your decisions affect how your story plays out across the entire series!
• Decisions are difficult and often require an immediate choice. There’s no time to ponder when the undead are pounding the door down!
• Explore, solve problems and fight for survival in a world overrun by the undead. See the world of the comic books brought to life: artwork inspired by The Walking Dead comic book artist Charlie Adlard

Here is a video we shot at E3:

The iPad version is very responsive and play’s just as well as the PC version of the game.

After the preview we were also treated to the lunch below – I decided to pass!

Episode 1 should be available very soon – more news when we get it and stay tuned for a full review.
