Get Some Screens And Behind-The-Scenes With The Walking Dead
Telltale’s next game is the long anticipated The Walking Dead, which based on what little we’ve seen of the game so far, looks pretty good. Of course, their last game based on the Jurassic Park franchise looked good at first too. Telltale just revealed a few screens, the first you can check out below, the rest are waiting after the jump.
But that’s not all, we also have a behind-the-scenes video that focuses on the story, which is of course going to be delivered episodically. The game doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s coming to pretty much every major platform, including PSN, XBLA, PC, Mac, and Wii. Head past the break for Playing Dead Episode 1!

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
