E3 2011: Impressions of Dead Island (Xbox 360)

http://diehardgamefan.com/2011/06/10/e3-2011-impressions-of-dead-island-xbox-360/ Worry no more, if the rest of the game is anything like the playable demo at E3, than it is going to be an amazing game.

Yep, There's A Special Edition of Dead Island

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/videogames/1606/ Dead Island looks pretty good. It has zombies and a bunch of ways to dispatch them, and the trailers we've seen for the game so far have been pretty great. It's no surprise we're getting a special edition, but there are a few reasons that make this one pretty great. First, it comes with the game's first DLC, dubbed Bloodbath Arena, that sounds a lot like the Firefight/Horde/Survival Modes in recent games, where you and a few friends have to fight waves of enemies.

Hands-On Impressions of Dead Island 4 Player Co-Op

http://nerdreactor.com/2011/06/20/hands-on-impressions-of-dead-island-4-player-co-op/ The game takes place on the fictional island of Bonai. A lot of the scenery in Dead Island is quite beautiful and looks like it would be a nice place to visit, if it weren't for the flesh eating zombies. The controls for Dead Island are your standard FPS layout. Left trigger to aim and right trigger to shoot or throw. Since there're not many guns on the island, you will be throwing more than shooting. Taking a cue from Dead Rising, you can construct various melee weapons using different parts. While there isn't much friendly-fire, you can damage your friends if they get too close to a grenade or a sticky bomb that you've thrown.
