The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct Gets a Proper Trailer
This game’s existence has been rocky, to say the least. First, we got a trailer (that wasn’t really a trailer), then we got a trailer that was just Daryl and Merle Dixon shilling the game. At last, we have an ACTUAL trailer that features some gameplay.
The game focuses on the Dixon brothers and serves as a prequel to the events of the AMC TV show. Norman Reedus and Michael Rooker are also both voicing their characters from said television series.
Obviously, people are going to compare this to Telltale’s masterful The Walking Dead (which won our own coveted Game of the Year prize for 2012), but we’re looking at two different entities here. Yes, they’re set in the same universe, but each game should be taken on their own merits and judged for what they are.
Who knows? Maybe Survival Instinct will blow us away…regardless, the wait is almost over.
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct will be released on March 22 in Europe and March 19 in North America for Windows PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game will be released on March 29 in Europe and March 26 in North America for Nintendo Wii U

How's things? I'm the video guy and would love if you'd watch the things I do like Debatable and For Your Amusement. I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is “fake” around me or, he’ll bore you with, what I like to call, “the risks they take”. Henrik Larsson is my hero.

Oh...and it's pronounced, "Cull-um".
