Telltale’s The Walking Dead hits store shelves this month

THE WALKING DEAD, which was previously only available via download, will be available on X-Box 360, PS3 and PC. The critically acclaimed adventure game will also get a various special edition packages. As detailed in the press release:

There are just a few days left to pre-order strictly limited Collector’s Edition bundle for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ( suggested price of $69.99) exclusively from Gamestop. It includes an exclusive edition of The Walking Dead Compendium One: over 1,000 pages of Robert Kirkman’s original comic book, collecting the first 48 issues of Rick Grimes’ story. Best Buy stores will have a Limited Edition cover variant for all platforms, along with an exclusive poster insert. Best Buy is also the only place you can buy the game on disc for PC.
