Dead Island

Ever wonder what will happen if you and your family or friends are trapped on an island that supposedly meant for tourism with hungry zombies wander around scavenging for human fresh? Dead Island will fulfill your dangerous, yet, stimulating fantasy.

I’ve read amount of info about this upcoming RPG horror survival game on various sites. It’s said that this game is like a combination of Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead series. There are several interesting elements that attract me to get this game for Xbox 360 console. One of them is the multiplayer cooperative mode where up to 4 players can experience a whole new zombie apocalypse at once. I hope I can play this mode with a friend beside me without online; also, hope we can go wherever we want by separately. In addition, the game is an open world like Grand Theft Auto.

There are 4 playable characters with only 2 of them have been revealed;

Xian Mei, an Asian Chinese girl (never seen an Asian character since ObsCure 2's Mei & June) who works as a receptionist at the Royal Palm Resort. I wonder how is she going to slay zombies with those high heels, lol.

Sam B, a rap artist who takes a trip on the island.

The other 2 are Logan and Purna (I think she’s an African woman). This game might be the first horror game that consisted of international characters, which is good.

The trailer of this game looks quite saddening, but I bet the actual gameplay is nothing like that anyway :/
