    This game was recommended (by Mimsy, I believe) and I was looking at it on Steam. Its gotten great reviews and I want to get it, but I'm trying to figure out what I need to get.

    It looks like there's 5 chapters? If I buy this: http://store.steampowered.com/app/207610/ will it give me all 5 automatically?

    Oh, and for anyone who has played, is there any combat, because I totally suck at combat and it makes games not fun for me. If there is just minor stuff, that's fine.

    I thought it looked pretty cool too, Barry. :) I'm sure I'll be getting it, I just want to check on those couple of things. I love the tv show. Its one of my favorites.

    Well, I couldn't wait and went ahead and bought it. So far, its pretty awesome. :) I'm kind of having a hard time with the controls. I hate the keyboard button controls and can never figure out how to work them effectively. Hopefully, that'll come.

    LoL! I had a little play with it. ~ And got dead'ed, already by the Zombie Sheriff ! :(.
    I only used his hand-cuff keys - they were chafing my wrists. :p.:p

    hahaha! I died twice there and about 5 or 6 times in the house until I realized the 'Q' on the screen meant I had to repeatedly hit it.LOL

    This game is addicting.

    The game has full controller support, if you own one. The Guy played it that way, I prefer to use keyboard and mouse.

    Hint for you: The game gives partial credit. As in, when you have to click on something RIGHT NOW to stop a zombie from eating you, it doesn't always have to be exact. Just get the mouse cursor in the near-vicinity of the target and spam clicks. Repeat until zombie is dead for good. :)

    And yes, you bought the entire first season. If you enjoy it, season two is out and also on Steam. You import your saves from Season 1 into season 2.

    LOL No, I don't own a controller. The extent of my gaming consists of mouseclicks. I'm getting the hang of the directions, though.

    I finished the first Chapter already yesterday. :-o

    I'm addicted...I blame Mimsy. :-D

    *Mimsy mind control taking over* :-D

    haha...seriously, thank you for the recommendation. It's a great game and some really great dialog and stories.

    More seriously, I'm glad you're enjoying it. :)

    How do you like Lily so far? ;)

    Lily is quite an interesting character. So far, I have to say I don't like her. She reminds me of a petulant child...the bullying type that takes control of a group through meanness. A good character for the story though.

    lol...I am in Chapter 2 right now where they all discovered what was for dinner.

    I love the Walking Dead. I'm up to season 5. The game sounds interesting too! :)

    If you like the show, Em, you'll love the game. You see some characters from the show and some background stuff. So far, though, it's a totally different group of people and story than what the tv show is, which I like a lot.

    I can't wait to get started on season 5 soon as I get chance. My mates leant me her Sky log in details so I'll get into that real soon.

    The game I'm playing at the moment on the PS3 actually isn't a car racing game. I'm doing Dead Island which I bought a few years back. LOL

    I think that show keeps getting better. You'll love it.

    So I just finished the game. I highly recommend. What a great story and acting (which I never thought I'd say that about a PC game). I'm going to get the next season...or whatever it's called. :)

    The voice acting in this game is spectacular.
