It’s an interesting premise for the player, and ironically the plot and mystery is one of the biggest things that will keep players going forward. Taking place 6 months after the events in Dead Island, Cliff and his friends are on their way to another island that they hear might have some answers to what exactly occurred. In the game, players control Cliff, a young man with a penchant for taking pictures and who obviously comes off as a “douche”.

Is it more of the same game play we have come to love, or simply a dead man walking? Fast forward to today, and we have a spin off called Escape Dead Island launching on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. The final product was anything but emotional, and instead was a fun, 4 player first person co-op zombie game with blood, guts and tons of loot. When Deep Silver published the first trailer that tugged on players’ hearts everywhere, people took notice. Dead Island appeared to take the world by storm much like a zombie virus does in all its fictional glory.
