Second “Walking Dead” game features TV actor

Terminal Reality Creative Director Drew Haworth announced that Norman Reedus, actor in AMC’s The Walking Dead, will voice his character in the first-person shooter, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct.   The game is set to come out next year.

Man, I bet people are excited we are finally getting a Walking Dead game!  Oh, wait.  As far as I am concerned, Survival Instinct is unnecessary.  Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead is a genius game in its own right, and an amazing adaptation of the zombie comic/television show.  It did something new with the overused genre of zombie fiction, focusing on survival outside of killing zombies, such as making allies and not starving.  Sadly, I fear that Survival Instinct will overshadow Telltale Games’ masterpiece.  After all, we can’t get enough of those original zombie shooters!
