Ouch! Well, this news sucks about as much as getting bitten by a walker. As indicated by Joystiq, a number of Xbox 360 owners are encountering some really nasty bugs with their retail copies of The Walking Dead.

Some individuals have taken to the Telltale Games forums to discuss their issues with the game, with a few folks saying that The Walking Dead is nearly unplayable. Stuttering glitches are making the game’s signature quick-time and decision-making events practically impossible to play through. Another tricky problem some players are having is the inability to access Episode 2 after clearing Episode 1, instead being thrown back into the first chapter of the series.

Telltale has stated that most of the problems involve 4GB Xbox 360 slim models, though other models are certainly not exempt. The developer is currently looking into the various issues players are having. Let’s hope a fix is cooked up soon, because that’s a lot of folks getting some pretty foul issues.
