The most amazing aspect of WD is that they manage to make a ZA mini-movie on such a regular basis. Sure, the graphic novel is a guide but, they swerve from it so brilliantly.

For me, I can empathize with the characters. I can believe them, care about them. Something that WWZ just...nope...not even a twinge. Rather like Land of the Dead. *snickering*
Lemme put it this way...Last of Us has some of the best story telling of any game I have ever played. The voice acting is top notch (I've heard better, but not many), the characters feel ALIVE and you connect with them.

Then there are the visuals...my god this game is pretty. Some of the best facial expressions in a game, Id even say better than LA Noire because they arent creepy video captures. Even the clothing moves/wrinkles realistically when you move, and the fabric looks REAL.

Then there is the gameplay..they nailed it absolutely. Ammo is scarce, but not so scarce that you should never fire your gun. Basically you try to sneak kill as many as you can with melee before you open fire on the rest. The story is immersive, and the environments, though fairly linear, feel big and open.

If you own a PS3 and you do NOT own this game, you need to be locked up in a mental asylum because you are insane.

It's the best representation of zombies I've ever seen. The only true ZA that I've seen.

And of course I LOVE the Zombie Survival guide. The only thing that separated that fro mthe world of Walking Dead is hte one key difference in the infection. Carriers can keep living and only reanimate when they die, unless accelerated by a bite, , whereas in the guide the infection is fatal in itself.
In Walking Dead it isnt the zombie infection that kills you. The writters outright said it was the normal bacteria inside the human bite that does the trick. The human mouth is disgustingly flooded with flora (if you want to get technical your whole body is. You have 10x more Bacteria in your body than you do actual human cells.) and a bite from a human can cause a lot of illness.

Now imagine the bite from a rotting carcass that also has other forms of microbes that have moved on in to help with decomposing.
