Pure 20 Minute Dead Island Gameplay Footage

http://playstationlifestyle.net/2011/06/01/pure-20-minute-dead-island-gameplay-footage/ The video showcases a whole slew of weapons, the ability for players to explore the game's island with vehicles, and hordes of zombies scattered everywhere, Dead Island could finally deliver the zombie title gamers have long been waiting for.

Pre-Order Edition of Dead Island Is Announced

http://www.brainlazy.com/article/video-games/pre-order-edition-dead-island-announced/ LARKSPUR, CA – June 3, 2011 – Deep Silver today announced the special North American pre-order edition for the highly anticipated game Dead Island that will be released later this year worldwide for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.

Yep, There's A Special Edition of Dead Island

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/videogames/1606/ Dead Island looks pretty good. It has zombies and a bunch of ways to dispatch them, and the trailers we've seen for the game so far have been pretty great. It's no surprise we're getting a special edition, but there are a few reasons that make this one pretty great. First, it comes with the game's first DLC, dubbed Bloodbath Arena, that sounds a lot like the Firefight/Horde/Survival Modes in recent games, where you and a few friends have to fight waves of enemies.

E3 2011: Impressions of Dead Island (Xbox 360)

http://diehardgamefan.com/2011/06/10/e3-2011-impressions-of-dead-island-xbox-360/ Dead Island is a game that has been in development for a long time, but wowed people recently with an extremely well done trailer. However that trailer featured no actual shots of how the game actually looked in action. Then, when there wasn't any gameplay being shown shortly afterwards, skepticism grew around whether or not the actual game could live up to the hype that was generated by one well made advertisement.

E3 2011: Dead Island Trailer Reveals Release Date

http://www.cinemablend.com/games/E3-2011-Dead-Island-Trailer-Reveals-Release-Date-32611.html Deep Silver released their E3 trailer for survival horror game Dead Island today. The video, entitled "Dead Island Begins," is Part 2 to the trailer from last month.

Hands-On Impressions of Dead Island 4 Player Co-Op

http://nerdreactor.com/2011/06/20/hands-on-impressions-of-dead-island-4-player-co-op/
One of the few games that I was really looking forward to seeing this year at E3 was Dead Island. There is just something about Survival Horror that I can't get enough of, but recently the genre has been falling into the lines of camp and parody. Luckily, developer Deep Silver is looking to breathe some new life into these walking dead.
