If you’ve somehow managed to not play the amazing The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game yet and own an Xbox One or Xbox 360, then you’re in some huge luck.

Beginning October 15, 2015 and running through November 15, 2015, those with an active Xbox Live membership can download the award-winning first season of The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game for absolutely free as part of their Games With Gold program.

Not only do can you get The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game with your membership, but you can also pick up the stylish Valiant Hearts: The Great War for Xbox One or Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes for the Xbox 360.  Here is the advertisement as seen on MajorNelson.com:

Personally, I am a HUGE fan of The Walking Dead: A Telltale game and have played through each game a couple of times.  There are nods to both the comics and the hit TV show in the games, but for the most part this game tells the story of a man named Lee who befriends a young girl during the zombie apocalypse.

That young girl’s name is Clementine.  She’s an adorable, yet tough individual who will likely charm her way into your heart.  Along the way, you’ll also encounter some familiar faces, such as Glenn Rhee and Hershel Greene.

Throughout the game, players will have to make decisions that could result in the life or death of numerous characters along the way.  It sounds tricky, but it The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game is presented in a simple, straightforward way that is easy to understand and play.  The most difficult part for some players might be the timed button presses, but you can always try those again with no penalty for failure.

I highly recommend that anyone with an active Xbox Live membership download this game when it becomes available for free on October 15th.  Even if you have already played it, this is the kind of game that you’ll want to play again and again just to see all the different responses you get to the questions that are asked.
