After offering the first episode in The Walking Dead series for free since last week, Microsoft has now slashed the prices on the other four episodes on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360.

The Walking Dead showcased that video game adaptations of other properties, like comic books in this example, can work great if the emphasis on story is kept and the gameplay mechanics compliment it.

After offering the first episode in the series for free for the Xbox 360 since last week, Microsoft has now slashed the prices of the other four episodes by 50%.

The deal is available only today, December 28, according to the blog of Xbox community manager Larry Hryb, so take advantage of it as soon as possible by visiting the Xbox Live Marketplace.
