Spike Video Game Awards (VGA) adalah ajang penghargaan video game tahunan yang diselenggarakan oleh Spike TV untuk menobatkan video game mana saja yang layak menyandang gelar game terbaik tiap tahunnya. Untuk Tahun 2012 ini Spike VGA di selenggarakan di Sony Pictures Studios , Culver City, California, dan game yang berhasil menyabet gelar Game of the Year 2012adalah The Walking Dead: The Game
''The Walking Dead (also known as The Walking Dead: The Game)[8] is an award-winning episodic point-and-click adventure role-playing video game, based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series, for iOS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game was developed by Telltale Games.[9]The Walking Dead was planned to be released in the last months of 2011[10] but due to the production and development of the project, the game was held back to early 2012. The game consists of five episodes, released between April and November 2012. The iOS versions of each episode followed shortly afterwards. Telltale will be publishing retail versions of the complete series.
The game takes place in the same fictional setting as the comic, with events occurring during the same chronological period shortly after the onset of a zombie apocalypse in the state of Georgia. Most of the characters are new creations for the game, centering on university professor Lee Everett who helps to rescue and care for the young girl Clementine as they work with other survivors to make their way to safety. Kirkman provided oversight of the game's story to assure it fit well with the theme of the comic, but allowed Telltale to handle the bulk of the game development and story writing. Some characters from the original comic book series make appearances in-game, including Hershel Greene, Glenn, and Lilly Caul.[11]
The Walking Dead is a point-and-click adventure game, though does not emphasize puzzle solving, but instead is more focused on story and character development. The story is affected by choices and actions the player makes as a result of quick time events, such as certain characters being killed or an adverse change in the disposition of other characters towards the protagonist. These choices carry over the five-episode game.''
