Rented Dead Island for PS3 on the Redbox and I'm really impressed. It's the best Zombie Apocalypse game I've played. It's similar to Far Cry and Fallout 3.
I'm about 4 hours in and 10% complete on the story and it's pretty much open world. The nice thing is there are not a billion zombies like in Dead Rising. It's much more survival oriented and I get a real sense of danger when traveling on the resort island. In Dead Rising you could take on hordes of zombies with ease but in this game 3-4 zombies at times can pose problems. You have to be much more strategic in Dead Island. So far I've only fired a gun once and the combat has mostly been with melee weapons. You gain xp and leveling up let's you spend skill points so you can customize your character.
I'm sad to return this to the redbox but I will certainly be on the lookout for a used copy...
Also, I'm picking up my copy of NHL 2012 tomorrow. So very stoked to charge a goalie and knock his helmet off.
