Dead Island

If you haven't heard about it by now the. It's obvious that you're way out of the loop on video games. Dead Island.

What started off as a teaser trailer in slow motion going backwards, sparking (quite literally) morbid curiosity has turned into a cult fascination.

The game is a zombie survival FPS/RPG. It combines the survival terror of Left 4 Dead and role playing and weapon crafting of Dead Rising 2 on an island where you, among other survivors are trying to regroup, and get the hell out of Dodge.

The game starts at night with a big welcoming party. Then, things turn to shit. If you have ever watched Club Dread then the game is that...season heavily with zombies.

The video of the gameplay horn at Quakecon revealed a lot for Dead Island. I'm not going to provide a link in fear Techland will pull a Bethesda and take down my blog on this. You can do that in between your 'fap' sessions to free online porn and laughing at pictures of cats.

Back to the video. It shows the character you've chosen talking to a few other survivors then out on her own to do whatever experience worthy quest she's been given. She then makes a baseball bat with nails sticking out of it and ventures into the zombie infested island. Unlike previous zombie games where zombies either stand around waiting for you, walk aimlessly, or rush you at Kenyan speeds. These flesh loving hipsters lay around until you get to close or do nothing. Few swings and it's all she wrote.

Shortly there after, our hero finds a truck and what'ya know, can drive it. Through zombies.

Opposed to writing the rest of what I witnessed, go check it for yourself. It's worth it if you love zombies, POV cleavage, and an array of slow and fast moving undead.

The game is slated to be released September 6, 2011.
