dead island is pretty good. standard zombie shit going on, but overall i believe that this game is way better than Left for Dead or Dead Rising (which I think is awful anyway). it has the correct combination of RPG and action elements. there's nothing deep or even serious about dead island, but i played it for a couple of hours this morning and I am slowly being sucked back in... it's that kind of game. unlike L4D or other first person shooters, you won't beat this campaign in a couple of days. there are quests and missions ALL over the place, resulting in the potential for quite a lengthy experience.
gamespot gave it 7/10 and i would maybe bump it up to 7.5/10. main complaint is the lack of LOCAL CO-OP. nobody is putting this into games anymore, and it's pissing me off quite a bit. it seems like something that would be extremely easy to program into a game. who gives a fuck if it contradicts the story? what happened to two or three friends getting together to play co-op games? now you have to play with some retarded teenagers on X-Box live or do a system link with your friends. not cool
looking forward to:
battlefield 3
skyrim
new CoD
gears 3
damn.. we need some new concepts
