Dead Island (PC)


products like World War Z, which is both a comic book and, soon, a movie, and the Walking Dead, one of the most appreciated television series on AMC. Both of these are nuanced looks at the possibility of a zombie apocalypse which manage to focus on characters and moral dilemmas more than on simply fighting off the hordes of undead.

Gaming has long been accustomed to them in various forms but Dead Island might just be the game that manages to deliver well crafted zombie bashing action while also making the player think about his choices, what he considers important and what he chooses to do when faced with life or death choices.

Everyone will think about Dead Island as a cross between Dead Rising from Capcom, but maybe without the humor, and Left 4 Dead from Valve, minus most of the firearms and the Artificial Intelligence zombie leading Director. The developers at Techland seem completely unoriginal at first glance but once a gamer gets deeper into the game, which also means deeper into the island, this familiar feeling will pass and Dead Island will be able to stand on its own as the best way for a hardcore geek to prepare for the inevitable coming zombie apocalypse.
