Reminder: Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead’ Getting Physical On December 11!

Telltale’s The Walking Dead is the BEST game that I played in 2012. I also play a lot of games, including all of the high profile titles you’d expect from most gamers. Not one of those titles stuck with me and affected me like this one did. Not one game this year even came close.

The Walking Dead is a downloadable episodic title, and after all of the praise that we’ve given it (check out our review of each chapter here, here, here, here, and here) there is only one acceptable reason for you to not have played it: you don’t know what the internet is. If you’re reading this however, that’s simply not possible, so you’re a terrible person.

It was announced in September that the game was getting a physical rendition, and in October an AWESOME collector’s edition was revealed for release on December 4th. That date has shifted back one week, but the contents are the same, and it’s fantastic:

-The Walking Dead game featuring all five episodes
-The Walking Dead: Compendium One (collects the first 48 issues of the source material, -featuring exclusive art by Charlie Adlard)
-Collector’s box featuring exclusive Charlie Adlard art

As we mentioned in October, this collector’s edition is pre-order only , and there are only a few days left to get that preorder in. The standard edition will be available everywhere, though Best Buy will have some exclusive art on their copies.

Buy the game. Just buy it. Buy two and give one to a friend. Telltale deserves it, and I want more people to experience this game.

Again, Telltale’s The Walking Dead will physically be in stores a week from tomorrow, December 11!
