News How Much More Ridiculous Can Game Trailers Get?
We have a new champion
It's crowded on retail shelves at this time of year.

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

Cheesy family a must
While the footage of Winter Stars below is all based on the Kinect version, we expect the Move release to be pretty much identical — with the exception of glowing controllers of course.

Deep Silver's ambitious (but desperately buggy) Dead Island has topped the UK sales charts for the second week running, scooping up sales greater than any other title in the publisher's history -- in just two weeks

There's a like to look-forward to in Techland's much hyped zombie slaying opus, Dead Island

News Winter Stars to Shine on Move Later this Year
Deep Silver lining up sports compilation

News Dead Island Looks Nothing Like The Trailers, Still Kind Of Awesome
Let's get to the point: Dead Island doesn't appear to have anything in common with those heart-felt trailers the publisher has been releasing to promote the game
That's fine though, because what Dead Island actually is looks pretty exciting anyway. The eleven minute gameplay demo included after the jump shows off a bunch of the game's mechanics, and...

News Literally Everyone's Talking About This Dead Island Trailer (It's Pretty Good)
When IGN started hyping up the trailer to a long forgotten game, we were a little dismissive
Long forgotten means not very good, right? Otherwise it wouldn't be forgotten. Turns out we've never heard of Techland's Dead Island before. Apparently it was announced in 2007. We don't remember so, yes, long forgotten is apt. But why didn't we report on...
