All of these FPS's... This is why I loved The Walking Dead game so much: it was fresh. It had compelling writing, the story drew you in, the characters were flavored with their own personality, it allowed you to connect with the main character, and more importantly, it wasn't an FPS. I took a look at Survival Instincts, an FPS which is based off of the AMC Walking Dead, and my eyes rolled in their sockets, even before I looked at the gameplay! I liked the AMC version a little becuase it was the first zombie survival series I had seen on tv, but I fell in love with the sheer quality of Tell Tale Games's portrayl of the Walking Dead. So the sheer fact that they mashed the AMC series with an FPS made too much sense. FPS's were and still are flying off the shelves, and they probably thought it best to join the band wagon.
The gameplay itself was boring and pretty repetitive from what I saw. Completely uninteresting to me. First part of the game, you go swinging a hammer or pointing a hunting rifle at the nearest zombie. Plus the fact that it's an FPS, so getting injured or bitten by a zombie kinda loses it's grim consequences, mainly towards the main character.
