    Guys . Watch this YouTube - Dead Island: Official Announcement Trailer and for the love of Alienware, pray our M11x's can run this smoothly on High!!!!

    Announced in 2007 but cancelled in 2009. A First person, melee, zombie RPG - it was one of those games I couldn't wait for. Now the gaming gods have deemed it worthy once more. Gonna put portable left4dead to shame methinks!!! It's a multi-platform release and hopefully won't be another sloppy console port. What do you guys think? how do you think our R1 and 2's will handle it?

    Mmmhmmm. Some zombies are going to have to die for that.

    Added to my wishlist. Thanks M11Ash!

    I liked it. It's emotional. The fact that it was done in reverse was more gripping then if it wasn't. I hate it for one reason, though: It's pre-rendered.

    Here is an old gameplay trailer from 2007 YouTube - Dead Island Teaser Trailer. It looks promising even with 4 year old tech. Open world, graphic melee, zombie RPG FTW!
