Telltale released three screenshots from its game version of The Walking Dead, and IGN has them posted. We haven’t gotten them in the mail just yet, but when we do, we will re-post the lot. Telltale has said the game will take the developer to “the darkest place,” it has ever been, and it will be based on the comic instead of the television series, and will star a prisoner named Lee and a seven-year-old girl named Clementine. A release date for The Walking Dead and its Facebook tie-in has yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, just for fun, check out the Season 2 premiere video for The Walking Dead TV series here.
