Walking Dead, the video game based off of the TV series with the same name, has been downloaded more than one million times in two weeks. The game is available for download on the XBLA, PSN, PC, and Mac. This is also the fastest selling Telltale Games in history. The first of many DLC is set to launch in June, which like the series will be released in episodes.
"Premiering The Walking Dead game series to record numbers across so many diverse platforms is a tremendous achievement that shows the value of bringing strong storytelling and game play together," said Dan Connors, CEO of Telltale Games. "The tailored narrative design puts gamers in control of their own story within the universe of The Walking Dead in a way that appeals equally to hardcore gamers and to more casual gamers who are fans of the franchise."
"The most exciting aspect of getting off to such a great start is that this is just the beginning of the five episode series," continued Connors. "The Walking Dead fans are going to experience some really great moments in the months ahead that are uniquely influenced by the choices they make throughout the season."

Good for all involved. I am always happy to hear good games doing well commercially as well.
This game is based off of the comic book series, not the TV series.
WRONG. Its a parallel story line.
Would be great if they released this on XBLA Australia...
Enjoyed the first, I liked the gameplay and control style. I thought it felt like an epsiode you were partcipating in.
It is a odd combination. While the story mechanic is very forward thinking. The controls are a bit too antiquated. Point and Click is one thing, but overall I found the controls clunky, but that may actually be intentional.
this makes me sad... enough with the zombies already!
Just like in "real life", they refuse to die!
Seems good for a reasonably short time in development
Hell yeah! Just finished it today and it was pure awesome!
I wrote it already 4 or 5 years ago in the Sony forum: I am sick of zombies. What about witches? Witches are cool!! They can be as ugly as hell or stunning beautiful. And they also do magic. Come on devs, is it so hard?
Zombie stuff always sells like crazy.
Gives me hope for The Last of Us!
