It seems social games are all the rage these days and AMC's The Walking Dead will not be left out of the loop. This April we will see the undead smash hit light up computer monitors with its very own game. AMC has partnered up with RockYou to create a game for any zombie fan regardless of gaming experience.
The goal of this game will be to survive the zombie apocalypse by destroying walkers (zombies) and keeping your team on the not so dead and roting side. You will see settings from the show and also create your own camps to scavange what is needed to survive. There will also be interaction with different characters from the show that will lead to a unique adventure for each player.
“AMC's The Walking Dead Social Game is a next generation game for social networks.” said Stephen Griffin, CEO of Eyes Wide Games, which is the studio developing the game in conjunction with AMC and Rock You. “It's got deep playability. It's got drama, and it's still approachable for the casual audience. However, if you're a gamer and you've been looking for a deeper game to play and to experience on social networks then this is it.”
So my fellow Walking Dead fanatics, what do you think? Personally I have yet to cave and play a single game on Facebook and that has a lot to do with how annoying the posts and invites are from others. No I don't want a bushel of apples or a can of gas to start my own farm, but thanks for asking. Thanks to The Walking Dead I will now have to eat my words and join all other hardcore Facebook gamers all while making sure to annoy everyone on my friends list with useless updates/requests.
