Dead Island review

Last year there was an interesting trailer for Dead Island that caught the attention of gamers worldwide. It showed us a short yet horrifying tale of a family desperately running away from a horde of blood-thirsty zombies. It was a brief, gory and best of all – played backwards. Now after having finished the game I can safely say that the trailer may have been great marketing, but it sure didn’t give us a real idea of what the game really was.

Dead Island Bloodbath Arena

Deep Silver have announced a special pre-order edition of Dead Island for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. The special edition will of course include the game and offer the ‘Bloodbath’ Arena DLC for free. Basically it’s a survival mode you can play in single player or in multiplayer as you take on hordes of zombies and try to stay alive for as long as you can. We’ve seen this all before of course but the cool thing is you can take the XP and items you find in this mode and bring them over to the campaign mode. Oh, and...
