Dead Island Preview -- First Person Zombie Action Coming At You With Plenty Of Weapon Combos

Dead Island


Dead Island. You've seen the trailer a dozen times by now, but you've probably been wondering if the game is going to be any good, or if it was a lot of hype for a trailer that won't look anything like the title. Steve "Walking Semi-Dead" Johnson got to lay eyes on this first-person zombie killer. See what he had to say:
The unique zombies we saw included flaming zombies -- stay away or take fire damage -- and The Suicider, a slow-walker that explodes, so he can be used for offense by getting him into a swarm and watching the explodey chaos happen. The game seems to reward strategy as well as reflexes. You can push zombies away, attack them from afar with thrown weapons, and even target specific body parts, so if you're faced with a fast-walker, take out his legs and slow that sucker down.
