In every piece of media or preview released about that game, it has looked like complete dog shit. Like you say, it's an unpolished cash grab. Bad graphics, bad mechanics, bad writing, bad everything. Don't waste any money on it. Play the storydriven adventure game from Telltale Games instead. That's one of 2012's best games.

It's on sale on Xbox 360 right now 800 MS points (about 10 bucks) for all five episodes, about 10 hours of gameplay, good story and great characterization.

I think the show is starting to suffer from some DragonBallZ syndrome... dragging things out forever :P

They struggle keeping things tense.

Anyone watch The Following??? that show has momenets i'm like whhhhhhat....

They should have had more melees back and forth or some tension building between the groups. Some Skirmishes... some crazys running off...

Don't they know how to build up a climax?

Yep, can't argue with any of that. Haven't played the first one yet - its $20 on PSN last time I checked. I will get around to it eventually, but I'm getting the AC3 Tyranny of King Washington DLC first.

I really hope that we don't see the end of the Governor next week. I feel like there is so much that can be done with the character that I hope he's not killed just because he's the bad guy and it's the end of the season. Where does this show go without him? Seriously.....

*SPOILERS*

(you should know this but its big)


Noooooo! Merle! Yeah he was a scumbag but a great character...Daryl is going to be on the warpath for the Governor - you know he's dead in the finale.

I'm not a big fan of the Gov so I will be glad to see him go...

(Damn, Shane was my favourite character (Daryl is a close #2) and Merle was great too...IMO both incredible actors...this is like 24 with the death of great characters)

I agree. In my opinion, The Walking Dead is filled with some decent actors, a couple brutal actors (Sarah Wayne Callies or Chandler Riggs...), but they have had in the cast what I would consider to be 3 elite, world-class actors. Those 3 actors are Scott Wilson (Hershel), Jon Bernthal (Shane), and Michael Rooker (Merle). Sadly, they have now killed off 2 of those elite actors!

***SPOILERS***

As well, I agree with MD on this one. I hate that they tried to send Merle out with some sense of honour. Why martyr him? He was a douche bag and it seemed like such an unlikely switch of character for him in the scene with him and Michonne in the car.

That being said, I thought the scene when Daryl found Merle was brilliant. Definitely one of my favourite scenes of the season, and the way Michael Rooker and more importantly, Norman Reedus pulled it off, sent chills down my spine. Great stuff.

Oh ya, and Merle drinking whiskey in a car gathering walkers while blaring Motörhead? Awesome...

Good episode. Its gonna be carnage for the next one. I'll be super pissed if Daryl dies. I think he is my favorite character left. Michonne and Daryl will seek justice and kill the gov. He's got to go....

I dont think they can stay with that storyline forever. The end goal has to be finding a place that isn't a prison, but safe... Either that or everyone dies trying to find it. I just think the whole Woodberry storyline should come to a close.
