Walking Dead Episode 2 ‘Starved for Help’ Now Available on Xbox

by  • 

I hate these staggered releases, I play Walking Dead on my PC via Steam but I have to wait until the 29th while Xbox users get it today. Actually Playstation, Mac and PC users will have to wait until the 29th to get the latest episode. It’s only two days though, unlike Skyrim Dawngaurd where I believe I’ll have to wait 30 days to play it on the PC.

TELLTALE GAMES THE WALKING DEAD

Leading publisher of digital entertainment Telltale Games and Robert Kirkman, the Eisner Award-winning creator and writer of The Walking Dead for Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, announced today that, ‘Starved for Help’, the second episode of the game series based on the critically acclaimed comic book series, The Walking Dead, is now available for download.

In this tailored game experience, players get the chance to see how their story continues based on the decisions that they made in episode one, ‘A New Day.’
