I got a call from a buddy of mine, who said I needed to check out the trailer for Dead Island. I hadn’t heard of it yet, but assuming it was a game, I pressed him for details. “Just watch the trailer,” he said. Just watch this thing. Then watch it again. Oh, by the way, there’s a game involved here as well.

Dead Island is going to be a sandbox-style zombie survival game that supports up to four-player co-op. There aren’t many further details, but I’ll give developer Techland props for coming up with a trailer that accomplished what it set out to do: I’ll definitely have my eye on this thing going forward.
