    The weapon system resembles that of another zombie game, too--this time . Though there are guns to be had, they arrive relatively late; melee and throwing weapons are the order of the day, with emphasis on slicing and bludgeoning the enemy. You find basic weapons, such as knives, scythes, and baseball bats, lying around. Read more

    8.0/10
    Reviewer: hoax86, BigPond GameArena

    What to say about Dead Island? It's a zombie game, but not like other zombie games. It's clearly drawing inspiration from the two big players in the genre and puts them together in a manner that I found surprisingly cohesive. It takes the co-op focus of Left 4 Dead and the more open environments of Dead Rising, then frames them in a thoroughly Borderlands style of action RPG. Read more

    • The best first person melee combat since Dark Messiah., Varied locations., Aussies outnumber Americans.
    • Inconsistent learning curve., Fetch quests aplenty., Terrible Aussie accents.
