I’ve just caught sight of this beauty. Yep, it looks like another zombie game is about to hit the shelves soon, and the Dead Island trailer is something to behold.
Is this zombie game gonna be any different to the countless others that have preceded it? I doubt it. Though at least the trailer is different and well made; half in reverse, half forwards… it does make sense once you’ve seen it.

Does the gaming industry really need another zombie survival game? I can’t help but think that this one isn’t going to bring anything new to the table. However, I have heard that Dead island is focused more on hand-to-hand or melee combat and not just having to find a rifle and blasting away at any dead thing that shuffles towards you.
The other question would be, do you actually need anything more in a zombie game then loads of zombies and loads of weapons?
It is too soon to tell, but whatever the game may bring the Dead Island trailer at least, is very good.
