Not a major part, but it'll still be there. I imagine being attacked by a zombie and using your environment to your advantage through button sequences? They have a lot of that in the show, but I've never read the comics.

Main character is so Samuel from Outbreak, in more ways than one.

Hah, the first still I saw on that episode I thought...Marvin!!! Every time I see or hear something about this game, I want it immediately. I like the idea of what you say or choose changes the world around you. Have always been a big fan of that type of playstyle.

X-Box Live Marketplace page is up.

In an interview with Digital Trends, Telltale Games co-founder and CEO Dan Connors revealed "The Walking Dead" is just about finished with development, set to go gold within days. After the company will submits the game for approval through Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, a possible late April/early May release is projected.

More details from last month:
"There are levels where you have to protect someone and only have so much food and have to decide if you will steal food from others and thus likely condemn them to death. Which characters live or die is something that will change in every playthrough depending on the player’s choices, and thus you can get a different experience each time you play. The game will incorporate new characters, bits of backstory from the comic, specifically focusing on Glenn in Atlanta before he joins the main cast."

Playing Dead Episode #3 is up.

Interview with creator Robert Kirkman and an extended gameplay trailer. Kirkman also mentions other action/survival horror games and throws a shot across the bow of MvC3.

I can't believe i'm asking this question...

But is the game canon? To either the comic books or the TV show?

Saw a brief glimpse of the gameplay the other day - can only see myself downloading the videos on YouTube and watching them through my TV, looked an utter chore to play.

Yes, it is canon to the comic book series and takes place before Rick wakes up from coma.

Can we expect cameos from characters and locations then? Has that been confirmed?
