For a limited time, Episode 1 of The Walking Dead video game is being given away for free on the iTunes App Store. When the episode first came out, it was selling for $4.99, so this is a good chance to pick it up if you were on the fence about it.

"If you’ve yet to experience The Walking Dead’s first episode, you’ll be in for some tough decisions while balancing some unique relationships in this morally grey world, and it will all be carried over into future episodes that uniquely tailor your play though of the story. Once you’ve purchased this episode for $4.99 USD, you can then opt to purchase future episodes individually for $4.99 from within the application, OR you can pre-purchase the rest of the series as a Multi-Pack [Episode 2-5 Bundle] for $14.99, saving you a total of 25% off the cost of buying episodes 2-5 individually.

We’ve spent a great deal of time carefully integrating our new interface design to create an even more intuitive experience with the touch screen as you explore a world ravaged by the undead based on the Eisner Award-winning comics from Robert Kirkman and Skybound Entertainment. You’ll have full character control of Lee Everett as investigation points, actions, dialogue and decision making flows onscreen and is seamlessly integrated with the environments.

Walking Dead: The Game will run on the following iOS enabled devices: iPad 2, the new iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and 4th Generation iPods and above. "
