E3 2011 Preview: Dead Island

http://www.atomicgamer.com/articles/1266/e3-2011-preview-dead-island After a fantastic trailer put Techland's Dead Island on many gamers' most-wanted lists and a rather spectacular showing at GDC this year cemented the game as a real contender in journalists' eyes, the hype for this upcoming zombie-action game is getting pretty huge - especially for a game that came pretty much out of nowhere only a short while back. Dead Island's brand of cooperative play evokes Left 4 Dead, but the melee-based focus and crafting system reminds us of Fallout 3 and even Dead Rising, while the open-world design of the tropical island feels like Oblivion meets Far Cry.
