We're at the halfway point now; let's look at the choices I made during Episode 3 of The Walking Dead game on XBLA. Like before, there will be massive SPOILERS.

Throughout this episode, Kenny was pissing me off more and more - everything I wanted to do, he disagreed with. God only knows how much he would have whinged on if I HADN'T agreed to bludgeon Larry to death with the saltlick in the meat locker.

This is a screenshot of my results from Episode 3:

 This time I found that I was in the minority for 2 out of 5 choices... Hrrrm...

Shoot the girl in the street: I grew to dislike Kenny immensely, so I did what Lee himself wanted to do. Quite often I pay attention to internal monologues and the player character's needs and wants. Unless they're an arse, of course.

Abandon Lily: I loved Carley, I hated Lily. She deserved to be left behind and eaten alive by the walkers. Bitch, that's what you get for shooting my babe. ¬_¬

Fight Kenny: I assumed you had to - when I see a quicktime event, I've learned not to ignore them. Given the choice I would have done anyway, because Kenny is a dick.

Shoot Duck: Now my reasoning for this is probably different to the other 81% of people. They probably did it because they thought it was the right thing to do - I did it because I hated that fucking kid. The first time shooting him was mentioned I hit that A button so fucking fast.

Help Omid: He was the first one to come into my line of sight, I didn't think anything of it. Again, given the choice I would have picked him anyway because Christa was giving me total bitch vibes.

Here we are again, let us take a look at the choices I made during Episode 2 of The Walking Dead game on XBLA. Like before, there will be massive SPOILERS.

Following Episode 1, I tried to make friendly choices with Clementine, Kat and Carley and treated Larry, Duck, Kenny and Lilly like shit, because they are massive TWATS. Upon the start, I noticed a new character, Mark had joined Lee, and I really liked him too.

As well as the five standard choices, we also had to distribute four pieces of food amongst ten people - here are who I chose:

Clementine: Because she's a babe.
Ben: Because he needed to get over the trauma of seeing the bear trap incident.
Mark: Because he trusts me and hunts with me.
Me: Because I'm a babe too.

I wanted to give some to Kat because she was working hard, but she didn't want it. Wanted to give some to Carley, but she didn't want it. I hate Duck and Larry is a twat so those two were my last choices.

This is a screenshot of my results from Episode 2:

This time I found that I was in the minority for 3 out of 5 of the choices.

Chopped David's leg off: It's key survival tactics. I'm guessing a lot of people tried to cut off his leg but didn't manage to perform the full four chops.

Didn't shoot Jolene: I wanted to hear what she had to say. She was telling me important stuff then that Danny wanker had to go and spoil it all.

Killed Larry: He was a total prick, killing him felt so good.

Killed both St. John brothers: Motherfuckers got what was coming to them. I only got to spend time with Mark for one episode because of those bastards and their mother.

Stole food: Fucking duh. I can't believe 49% DIDN'T. No matter what decisions I made, Clementine would still like me anyway, so upsetting her once wouldn't make any difference. As for stealing food, I'm the sort of person who hoards the entire food stockpile of Nevada in Fallout: New Vegas and keeps it in my Mary-Poppins-Handbag fridge while everyone in New Vegas Square and Freeside are going hungry. Mwah.

I've recently completed The Walking Dead Xbox Live Arcade game. I bought all of the episodes for half price during an awesome sale and as soon as I started playing, I finished it in about 2 and a half days (I started it at like midnight on a Saturday, played more on the Sunday night and finished the last two episodes and DLC episode on the Monday) - and I loved it. It was something different - I've always liked point-and-click adventure games, but not actually played many of them.

I noticed that on the Xbox360Achievements.org forums, many players were discussing the choices they made throughout the game (If you've played it, you'll know that every choice you make affects the storyline to an extent) so here I'm going to discuss the choices I made and the reasons why I made them.

First off, if you've never played The Walking Dead and intend to in the future - DO NOT READ ON. There will be massive SPOILERS.

OK, first off, I hate kids. I really fucking hate kids. I especially hate them in the vast majority of games where you're not allowed to kill them. I've actually played games where it was considered OK to kill elderly and disabled people, but not children? What the actual fuck. So yes, if there were any choices involving children, I was going to make life difficult for the little cunts.

However, like many people, I fell in love with the character Clementine. Despite being 9 years old, she was an intelligent and resourceful kid - fucking living on her own in a treehouse during a zombie apocalypse! Every opportunity to help her, feed her or generally speak to her, I took. Unlike Duck, she wasn't an annoying little shit either...

This is a screenshot of my results from Episode 1:

I found that while the results are relatively equal for both choices, I was in the minority side for 4 out of the 5 possible choices.



Lied to Hershel: I tend to tell the truth in video games, I've found that it most often leads to rewards and positive results. One example is Final Fantasy VII - in Mideel, telling the truth to the residents allows you to keep items without resentment and also completes the Cursed Ring sidequest. In games like Fallout, I find telling the truth often helps you to maintain good karma and reputations with people.

(Tried to) Save Shawn: It was the fucking kid's fault Shawn was stuck under the tractor in the first place - Shawn was mint, I wish the little cunt on the tractor could have died instead! When Shawn died anyway, it launched my psychotic hatred towards Duck. Never again would I be civil to him.

Sided with Larry:  See above. Duck was a stupid cunt who deserved to be thrown to the walkers outside. Following this though, I also realised that Larry is a total twat as well...

Gave her the gun: She wanted to put herself out of her misery, it's only right. To an extent, I support euthanasia.

Saved Carley: She was the most useful out of the two, wasn't a headcase and knew how to handle herself. (i.e., she had a fucking gun!) She also seemed pretty chilled out about Lee's past...
