Any other games like TWD?
So while waiting for the season 2 to be released, I was wondering if you could recommend me games like this? I'm more of a PC gamer so let's stick to that.
Thanks a lot! And let's ask for more patience.

Did you try The Wolf Among Us?
Yep.. Can't wait for episode 2..
If you want another game like this you can try The Curse Of Monkey Island. The game is pretty old (1997), but i highly recommend it if you like adventure games.
Are you asking about zombie games or interactive drama/adventure games?
Just about every Telltale game is similar to The Walking Dead as far as gameplay goes. Walk around, do stuff, talk to people, see a really well crafted story and so on. The Wolf Among Us episode 1 was released recently which was very similar and the combat was much better than in The Walking Dead. Other than that, I can't think of many PC games. If you have a PS3 then Heavy Rain or Beyond: Two Souls would be a good choice.
There's also games that I would personally say are vaguely similar like The Stanley Parable or Gone Home which focus almost exclusively on storytelling rather than gameplay. Both are very good games.
On the other hand, if you're talking about zombie games then I'd recommend State of Decay, Left 4 Dead, DayZ or Dead Rising 2.
Finished TWAU and State of Decay..
thanks mister! 
Is the story good? I'm more on the story rather than graphics..
Since you're interested stories like I am, I'm gonna throw down Fallout 3 and New Vegas here. I really enjoy TWD and TWAU because I feel like I have a choice, a say in things, even if I can't change the big picture. I like building a rapport with characters and guiding events, even if I can only control my reaction. Fallout 3 was my favorite series - until I found TWD and TWAU - because there's an element of emotional involvement, if you get into it, and your decisions affects things. Sometimes it's a little black-and-white ("save the orphans or burn down the orphanage") but the characters' reactions to your efforts can be solid.
I haven't played it myself, but I've seen a lot of recommendations for The Last of Us. Again, I think the game is limited in emotional involvement because you can't really control the main character's reactions, and because the game has more of a cerebral "big-picture" approach to a post-apocalyptic world, whereas TWD is on a much more personal level. The game looks pretty and it's very fun to watch some Let's Players have a go at it.
There are a few other games out there that spring to mind. Spec Ops: The Line is just as much of a psychological inspection as it is a cover shooter; the Silent Hill series is focused on characters but the games are showing their age badly (and if you're spoiled by TWD's voice acting like I am, you might be underwhelmed here); Amnesia: The Dark Descent comes to mind because you unravel your character's history and learn more about himself as you go along...
TWD was my first major point and click adventure game, so I can't make any suggestions in that direction. Hit me back with any thoughts and I might be able to recommend a couple more.
Aww, I appreciate the long reply! Really! Well, how was Fallout 3? Checked it just a while ago and isn't it more of a shooting game?
If you like "Choices Do Matter" kind of games you could try Heavy Rain (disappointing ending though), Beyond: Two Souls, Fahrenheit, Mass Effect Series, and my latest favourite right after TWD and TWAU is Catherine (a mix of Relationship Adventure and Puzzle solving) - I really liked it a lot. Correct me if Iforgot anything.
Have you tried Fahrenheit? Oh I've watched PewDiePie's walkthrough of Beyond Two Souls and I find it amusing but sadly, I don't have PS3. LOL By the way, thanks for suggesting!
No, it's an RPG along the lines of Bethesda's other recent Elder Scrolls games, Oblivion and Skyrim. There IS shooting combat but it's not a shooter, really. You have the ability to turn the shooting gameplay into a sort of turn-based mode. Personally, I enjoyed Fallout: New Vegas and its DLC more than Fallout 3, though I think they're both great overall.
Also, if you enjoyed the decision-making/picking cut scene dialogue/forming and managing interpersonal relationships with characters aspect of TWD, I also recommend Mass Effect. I hated the ending to the third one, but your mileage may vary. Despite my feelings for the conclusion, I found many of the characters to be wonderful and worth all the time invested in playing.
Anytime!
I'd say Fallout 3 is more of an action RPG. There are a lot of weapons - most of them guns, some melee weapons - and you *can *treat it like a shooter, but there's a nifty little gameplay mechanic called VATS. It basically "pauses" the game and lets you queue up attacks based on body region - so instead of actually aiming in real-time, you can activate VATS and queue up head shots with a % hit-chance based on various factors influencing your accuracy. You get a nice slow-mo cinematic effect and you can shoot weapons out of enemies' hands or cripple limbs, so it's pretty friendly to both hardcore shooters and those who don't play them.
If you can deal with that, the rewards are plentiful. Tons of voice-acted dialogue, journal entries, notes, recordings, and interactions (the "Child at Heart" perk unlocks special dialogue with children that you would not otherwise encounter, for example - definitely my favorite perk). If you're really opposed to the shooting aspect, you can probably play a (mostly) pacifist playthrough if you're careful.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks a lot! I'll look for it on Steam!
Excellent description of VATS.
Mass Effect is a great suggestion. I really wanted to get into the ME series, but I'm not a huge fan of cover-based shooters, which saddens me because the story interests me a lot. I've tried to get through the ME3 demo a few times, unsuccessfully. Does it ever depart from that cover-based aspect? Do you need to play the games in order or can you jump in at anytime?
Another vote for the Fallout series and The Elder Scrolls. Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Oblivion, and Skyrim in particular. I bought Skyrim a year ago and I still haven't completed it, (the world is huge).
I would definitely play in order as your choices in one are imported to the next (gee, that sounds familiar). But yeah, except for ME 1 (which also relies on putting points into weapon skills to get better aim) the combat is cover-based shooting galleries (though there's a sneak-type class you can take. And there are some biotic powers that are less shooter-y)... but at least you can pause and issue commands to and activate powers of squad members. ME3 has the most aggressive combat of the trilogy; there's no shame in lowering the difficulty if you have to.
Wow, I didn't think it kept track of your choices through the trilogy, just generalities, maybe specifics from 2 to 3. That's really cool, thanks for that. I think I'll just have to bite the bullet and grab a bundle over winter break, if it goes on sale. Do you play multiplayer at all? Any word on that?
Dragon Age was another series I wanted to explore, but I've putting it off. Same developers as Mass Effect, though. Have you played it?
I only played ME3 multiplayer when the demo was first released. It was available up until the actual game came out. I liked it okay, but I played ME for the RPG stuff. Multiplayer is all combat with none of the tactical pausing stuff. Not really for me but it's popular and well-liked by the fans
I played the first Dragon Age but never finished it. Their "world" didn't really click with me. But, again, a lot of other people enjoyed it.
That's a fair assessment. I felt the same way about Skyrim, not fitting in with the world. It took me several reboots to finish the game, and overall didn't feel very attached to anything in it. I'll definitely give ME a shot, though, with or without multiplayer.
Thanks for sharing!
No problem! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
