Review Dead Island: Riptide (PlayStation 3)

Company made a huge boob
In what’s looking more and more like a publicity stunt, publisher Deep Silver has issued an apology over its controversial Dead Island: Riptide collector’s edition. For those who haven’t been keeping abreast of the situation, the company announced the grotesque premium bundle earlier today, which includes a statue of a...

Put it away
Of all the collector’s editions that we’ve had the misfortune of posting about, this is probably the worst.

News Dead Island: Riptide's Debut Trailer Is Simple But Effective
Everlasting love
It was always going to be difficult for Techland to match the announcement trailer that essentially ensured the original Dead Island’s commercial success.
