Fear us dear zombies! Dead Island's DLC release date announced
http://mmomfg.com/2011/11/14/dead-island-dlc-1114/
Bloody Hell! Dead Island's zombie blood bath continues as Deep Silver has announced the release date of their new DLC, titled under the charming name ‘Bloodbath Arena'.
For those of you itching for a new way to take out zombies, the DLC also contains a new weapon called "The Brain Wave Bomb". I'll leave that one up to your playful imagination.
Dead Island Bloodbath Arena DLC Dropping Next Week
http://www.insidegamingdaily.com/2011/11/14/dead-island-bloodbath-arena-dlc-dropping-next-week/
In addition to the arena's supporting both single player and co-op functionality, money and experience earned while playing the DLC will carry over into the single player story.

http://www.insidegamingdaily.com/2011/11/14/dead-island-bloodbath-arena-dlc-dropping-next-week/
The content was initially going to release shortly after the launch of the game, but the content was delayed for undisclosed reasons.Zombie Apocalypse at Techland or something like that.
New Dead Island DLC "Blood Bath" Release Date Confirmed
http://www.justpushstart.com/2011/11/15/new-dead-island-dlc-blood-bath-release-date-confirmed/
In case you have forgotten, Bloodbath Arena Dead Island's rendition of a "Horde" mode, where waves after wave of zombies will come at you while you and (if you so choose) three of your friends have to hold your own in one of four different areas, and fend off the invading infected.
You could call it "Mob Mode" or something like "Enough Enemies to Warrant a Collective Noun Mode."
Dead Island adds 'Bloodbath Arena' DLC on Nov. 22
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/14/dead-island-adds-bloodbath-arena-dlc-on-nov-22/

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/14/dead-island-adds-bloodbath-arena-dlc-on-nov-22/
The DLC was delayed for a short stint after developer Techland decided to spend more time polishing the main game -- a process which was still ongoing with the release of last week's major console patch.
Dead Island DLC Bloodbath Arena release date finally set, the blood-bathing begins November 22
http://gamingtarget.com/article.php?artid=12613 There are four different maps to smash zombies in, but here's the best part: all experience, cash and loot harvested in the arena carries over into campaign.

It's a free download for anyone who pre-ordered the special edition version of the game from GameStop. Anyone else will have to cough up some money, to the tune of $9.99 (or 800 MS Points).

The open-world zombie-mashing RPG adventure plays a lot like you might imagine a bastard child of Borderlands and Dead Rising would: big world, great co-op, deep RPG character and weapon customization, first-person perspective.DLC was promised, but failed to materialize when the dev team shifted its post-launch priorities to squashing some of the game's lingering bugs.

It's a survival mode for up to four players, with four different maps to choose from.There will be leaderboards of course, and all experience earned in a Bloodbath mode outing will carry over to your campaign save, which is a nice bonus.

Jackman learns how to work the red carpet from Clooney
Jackman learns how to work the red carpet from Clooney
10. Director's Cut
We've covered this mod before, saying it "Rebalances the combat, skill trees and items to deliver better pacing and a requirement for headshot precision." Since then Director's Cut has been updated to version 3.4, which adds some minor tweaks to an already brilliant mod.
That's our pick of the bunch so far, but there are plenty more out there. Feel free to add your favourites in the comments below.
8. Dawn of the Dead Island
Following the Romero mod, Dawn of the Dead Island adds realism and makes the game "feel more like Stalker in terms of gameplay." Gone is levelling, and the focus is on merely surviving the zombie onslaught. The zombies are more shuffley, too, but still pack a deadly punch, and that's on top of a whole bunch of character and game tweaks.

The 10 best Dead Island mods

Dead Island
Despite being slightly broken on release, Dead Island has scored legions of fans who enjoy nothing more than slaughtering zombies in its open-world island. We liked it. Thanks to a Halloween tie-in sale it's currently sitting at number five in the Steam charts, and it's already got an impressive number of mods for such a recent game.
This is partly due to it being fairly simple to mod, and partly due to bits of it not working on release. Open up its PAK files in WinRAR, then tweak certain settings with notepad to your undead heart's content. This simplicity has resulted in mods which do everything from make zombies' heads come off every time you hit them, to changing the game to make it more like Crysis.To get started, it's a good idea to backup your Dead Island profile and save games – you'll find these in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\91310\remote\out\profile s\default.pro and C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\91310\remote\out\save\sa v_0.sav. Dead Island seems to have been built with modding in mind, so from here it's simply a question of extracting the necessary files to C:\Users\\Documents\DeadIsland\out. If you don't fancy getting your hands dirty you can use the Dead Island Helper to enable and disable mods.
There is one caveat – if you're playing a modded game on a VAC-enabled server, you could be banned. So make sure that you turn off VAC in the game's settings, and ensure anyone you play with has it turned off too.
With this in mind, open up your Dead Island folder and get modding.
1. Still Alive Parkour
Have Faith in the Mirror's Edge-inspired mod
That's Still Alive as in the song from Mirror's Edge, not the song from Portal. As you'd expect, this parkour-tastic mod adds running, jumping, regenerative health and knockdown enemy assaults. Like Mirror's Edge, Still Alive essentially turns Dead Island into a first-person driving game with legs instead of wheels, so you have to learn how to accelerate and brake without falling off cliff faces.
2. Benjamin318′s Dead Island Better Resolution and Texture
Good old Benjamin318 (Did his parents really call him that? Is he the 318th in a series of Benjamins?) has upped Dead Island's slightly muddy textures to higher definitions with his Better Resolution and Texture pack. Benjamin318 points out that they're not high definition but still a vast improvement on the original, while also wondering, "WHY DOES EVERYTHING LOOK SO DAMAGED AND OLD?"
3. Amputator-Tots and Decapitator-Tots
For long-dead humans, zombies' connective tissue always seems a bit too cohesive. Fortunately, this pair of mods ensure that the zombies' limbs fly off (Amputator) and heads explode whenever you shoot anywhere near them (Decapitator). Just like they would in real life.
4. Crysis
Everyone's favourite pretty-but-shallow military sci-fi shooter gets ported to the Dead Island island with this Crysis mod. It basically turns the player character into the slightly portly monochrome Spider-Man impersonator from Crysis, complete with the ability to throw people obscene distances and break people in half with your fists.
5. George Romero
George A Romero's 1968 film Night of the Living Dead pretty much set the tone and rules for the modern zombie – watching it is actually part of the curriculum if you're planning on becoming one of the undead. The George Romero mod aims to implicate the living dead's rules on the island of the dead, so you'll face off against slow, limping zombies who you'll have to shoot in the head.
