Description found at ign: Dead Island is a non-linear first-person shooter in which you find yourself on an island plunged into chaos. It's a place where the word "dead" has an entirely new meaning. Face the nightmare and fight for survival.
Use anything you find in your surroundings as a weapon. Make decisions that influence the entire world around you, take advantage of opponent behavior and game physics, and explore the secrets hidden in the darkest regions of the island.
Ok, so does anyone know if Dead Island is cancelled or what. I've been looking forward to this game's release for around 2 years now. This is a zombie game with dismemberment, free roaming and decomposition technology. What more could you want from a zombie game?! http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/dead-island-head-deform-tech/130174 -(decomposing head)
By the way, feel free to discuss the game, I'm just hoping someone out there knows what's going on.
Dead Island is supposed to be released for the Xbox 360 and PC.
Well with that in mind I guess no one knows for sure, at least not ign anyway. The official Dead Island site is "under reconstruction" so much for finding an answer there. I guess there is nothing to do now but wait in anticipation... probably to no avail... *sigh*
