E3 2012: Gameplay Footage from Episode 2 of The Walking Dead Video Game

Episode 2 of The Walking Dead video game is titled "Starved for Help" and is due out later this month. If you finished the first episode, you've seen a preview of what's to come, but more of the game is being shown off at E3 this week. We've collected some new details on the opening of episode 2 and also have a video from the show floor that contains new footage:

"Picking up three months after the events of the first game, Lee's group has grown by one but his problems have grown exponentially. It's winter, the group is nearly out of food, and people are turning on each other.

All of this weighs on us as players in two specific ways -- brutality and choice. The opening of the game is Lee slamming his axe into a walker's skull, and within minutes, we're treated to the most grotesque moment of the Walking Dead game so far.

After hearing a scream, Lee and a new companion named Max come to a man caught in a bear trap. The metal jaws have been tampered with. There's no release latch and it's anchored to a tree with a chain. So as walkers shamble towards the downed man, we're left with an axe and a series of choices. Hack at the chain, try to pry the jaws open, abandon the man, or separate the foot from the body."
