Walking Dead: The Game – Episode 1 For Free During Xbox Live Marketplace Sale

Eurogamer reports on a huge Xbox Live Marketplace sale that starts next Tuesday on December 18 and runs into the New Year.

Each day of the sale features a different sort of "theme", like the LEGO-centric downloads on the 19th. Fez, one of the 25 Best Games of 2012, will be on sale on the 20th, part of the slew of platforming games offered at a discount.

And perhaps the most exciting sale day, at least for the Arcade Sushi crew, will be the 28th when all of The Walking Dead goes on sale. Walking Dead: The Game - Episode 1 will reportedly be offered for free on Christmas Day, so it would be a good idea to grab that and then wait a few days to stock up on the rest of the season at a lower price. Now, none of the prices have been revealed, but it's safe to say you'll be getting a bargain, whatever the cost.
