The Walking Dead shambles onto XBLA Friday

The PSN, PC, and Mac versions of the first episode of Telltale's The Walking Dead debuted yesterday, but the XBLA version is lagging a bit behind. The wait is almost over, though, as the game hits the service on Friday.

Each episode goes for 400 moonpennies or $5. The first episode is a standalone game and the rest will be available as DLC. Unfortunately, unlike the PS3 version, there's no word on a "Season Pass" to pre-buy all of the episodes at a $5 discount.

Episode 2 hasn't yet been dated, but Telltale is one of the few companies that knows how to do episodic games right, so it shouldn't take too long. If you can wait a month between Walking Dead comics, you can wait a month between Walking Dead game chapters, right?
