So you’ve been meaning to get into The Walking Dead but you just haven’t gotten around to it. Perhaps you haven’t had the time, or maybe your backlog is your main priority. Whatever the case may be, this might just entice you to check out the series: You can currently download The Walking Dead Episode 1: A New Day for free on Xbox Live Arcade, slowpoke!

I’ve only played the first episode myself, and I thought it was pretty damn great. If you haven’t checked it out, do yourself a favor and do that now. Seriously, it’s worth putting your backlog on hold, and The Walking Dead games are pretty short anyway, so yeah, it’ll drain you emotionally more than it’ll take up your time.

Oh, and don’t worry — sure, some nasty bugs have been plaguing the Xbox 360 version of The Walking Dead retail edition, but this is the good ol’ digital version. From what I recall, those same ugly glitches aren’t seen in this version of the game. So there you have it. Now get to downloadin’!
