Activision's The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is the newest cash grab based on this zombie fad. Unlike the Telltale Game series, which is great, this is based directly on the television show. Now everyone has heard how horrible this is, and I'm not going to repeat everything everyone else has said. I think this game has some wonderful mechanics, but wasn't executed properly. I want anyone who is interested in the game to give it a rental, you might be surprised how much you like it! I personally want more zombie games like this, but maybe the general public does not.
In the game, you play as this lovely former saint from Boston. He is a character created completely for the show, and while this is not a bad thing, it initially turned me off from the show. I watched the first season, wasn't particularly impressed, and I didn't watch the second season until about a month ago, and now I'm hooked! It got so much better. Anyway, you play as Darrell Dixon at the beginning of the outbreak.
