We love it when DLC expands upon the narrative of a game, and so we're naturally rather excited for Dead Island's upcoming Ryder White expansion pack

While map packs and character skins are nice, we absolutely adore DLC that expands a game's narrative

We have a new champion

It's crowded on retail shelves at this time of year.

Before Dead Island launched, developer Techland was committed to a life of good ideas and grotty execution

Both nail'd and Call Of Juarez: The Cartel — Techland's other two releases this year — suffered from the same fate. But Dead Island was different; it had polish, and for the first time in the developer's history, it seemed to have a budget too. It wasn't going to take long before hints..

Admittedly we're rather curious about Deep Silver's Winter Stars
