REVIEW!

Working on it as we speak

I'm finishing up my DXHR review today, then TWD is next. So you can look for it possibly tomorrow, or more likely next Monday as reviews don't get posted over the weekend.

How about a preview review?  Mainly, what kind of game play is this?  I tried looking on Youtube but all I got were advertisement videos which I don't watch.  1st person?  3rd person?  Point and click?  Match 3 zombies?

Point & Click is the base of the game, but when it comes to actual zombies and making decisions (the story can diverge slightly and dramatically, based on what you decide) it's quick time events where you have to react quickly enough.

Nothing too challenging, but it's very nicely put together and executed.
