In such a crowded marketplace, a new title has to do something that sets it apart. Indeed, there are many ways out there to pick up a controller and slaughter hordes of the undead. An arsenal of interesting weaponry will be at your disposal, a la another favorite of the console zombie gamer, Dead Rising. If you play alone, Dead Island will quickly become a frustrating slog through admittedly gorgeous vistas overrun with zombies.
For some reason, you don't turn when you're bitten, meaning you have value to the other humans who don't have an insatiable desire for gray matter. Placing you in a first-person perspective against the shuffling (and sometimes sprinting) dead, you assume the role of one of four survivors on the fictional island getaway of Banoi. That same can be said when playing Techland's action-adventure role playing game, Dead Island. It's a truism of post-apocalyptic zombie lore: Stay in a group, or your brain will be eaten.
