After being announced yonks ago, open-world zombie survival game, Dead Island, has managed to generate substantial hype with a bleak, stylish CG trailer. This, at a time when the public should by rights treat the announcement of yet another zombie game with the same apathy of a George A. Romero fan hearing he’s just started work on Car Insurance of the Dead, goes to show just how easily gamers are impressed with CG trailers.

The lack of gameplay footage can probably be traced to the Polish developers previous works including the blaverage Call of Juarez series. If you’re expecting Valve-quality, L4D-style co-op, you’re a more optimistic man than I. But regardless of quality, at this point I’m so utterly done with the undead that, frankly, if the zombie apocalypse were to happen tomorrow, I’d probably die of boredom before they had chance to eat my brains.  Adam
