Yep, There's A Special Edition of Dead Island

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/videogames/1606/

Dead Island looks pretty good. It has zombies and a bunch of ways to dispatch them, and the trailers we've seen for the game so far have been pretty great. It's no surprise we're getting a special edition, but there are a few reasons that make this one pretty great. First, it comes with the game's first DLC, dubbed Bloodbath Arena, that sounds a lot like the Firefight/Horde/Survival Modes in recent games, where you and a few friends have to fight waves of enemies.

Dead Island E3 Trailer, September 9, 2011 Release Date Set For Zombie Apocalypse

http://zoknowsgaming.com/2011/06/06/dead-island-e3-trailer-september-9-2011-release-date-set-zombie-apocalypse/ Set in an open world tropical island, hordes of different festering zombies await players around every corner while they embark on a variety of thrilling missions through the holiday resort. With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on discovering and utilizing items as weapons for self-defense and fighting off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player's ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction.

Hands-On Impressions of Dead Island 4 Player Co-Op

http://nerdreactor.com/2011/06/20/hands-on-impressions-of-dead-island-4-player-co-op/

The game takes place on the fictional island of Bonai. A lot of the scenery in Dead Island is quite beautiful and looks like it would be a nice place to visit, if it weren't for the flesh eating zombies. The controls for Dead Island are your standard FPS layout. Left trigger to aim and right trigger to shoot or throw. Since there're not many guns on the island, you will be throwing more than shooting.Taking a cue from Dead Rising, you can construct various melee weapons using different parts. While there isn't much friendly-fire, you can damage your friends if they get too close to a grenade or a sticky bomb that you've thrown.

The video offers a glimpse of the beginning of the zombie outbreak at this exotic resort. It's from the perspective of a partygoer, who's unfortunately a little too sauced for us to get a clear look at what's going on. Oh well, at least he had fun.

Pre-Order Edition of Dead Island Is Announced

http://www.brainlazy.com/article/video-games/pre-order-edition-dead-island-announced/ Deep Silver, ever since their incredible teaser trailer, has been ramping up our anticipation for their upcoming zombie game, Dead Island. We badly want to get our hands on it, and thus are thrilled to find that the pre-order edition has been officially announced! Like the first spring training game in baseball, the pre-order boxart is a sure sign that the time is nearly here. The full press release is below, but it looks like aside from a fancy box, you'll get some DLC, and an exclusive in-game weapon, which is a buzz saw bat called "The Ripper." SOUNDS GOOD TO ME! And just check out this pretty box art!
