Dead Island now available on Steam

Killing zombies never gets old or boring so it’s natural we get at least one game featuring the undead every year. This year we get our fix in the form of Dead Island, a new first person game from the makers of the Call of Juarez series. Unlike the Left4Dead games, Dead Island is more of an RPG (Role Playing Game) played out from a first person perspective in a sprawling open world. Think of it as Fallout meets Left4Dead.

Talk about a bad vacation

In the game you play as one of four survivors trapped on an island resort amidst a zombie outbreak. You can either play the game solo via the single player campaign or team on with four of your friends to take on the undead co-operatively. Unfortunately this game won’t be releasing in India officially since publisher Deep Silver don’t have a distributor here so your only chance would be to grab it from Steam for $50 (Rs. 2319). No doubt that’s a steep price for a PC game with no multiplayer which is why we suggest you wait till our review drops next week.
