    Dead Island is on sale at Steam until tomorrow for $19.99 each. Otherwise it's $60 for a four pack. Anyone interested in going in for $15 each? I told myself I'd buy it when it went below $15, so here's my chance.

    Let me know so we can go! :D

    I ask that you PayPal me the money preferably before I make the purchase. PM and/or post here if you're interested.

    I dunno, it got an 80 Metacritic score (why is the word "M E T A" filtered out?). That's actually pretty promising.

    Sorry, already got it. To everyone else...it's a really good game. There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing game breaking.

    I bought it and cant really say I like it much. It seems pretty innovative with single player and multiplayer kindof co-existing. While playing the campain you can join with others just by clicking your mouse., Never seen that before in a game. Most of the time the game completely reloads. Maybe there is a bit of a learning curve, but I got bored pretty quick with the lack of weapons. Maybe more time playing will change my mind, but for right now I am sure glad I didnt pay full retail. I got it for 50% off last night.

    WingNut are you planning to play 4-player co-op? I'd be willing to get the game if you are. If not, then pass.

    I can't make any guarantees. With kids and upcoming job interviews I will have sporadic free time.

    It should work fine. I've had no issues in the past with international use on Steam. If it doesn't work then I'll refund your money.
