The Controller Online reviews Dead Island:
"Remember when Techland released the first trailer for Dead Island, and we were all blown away? Then they released the not so great Call of Juarez The Cartel and we were worried that Dead Island would suffer the same fate? Well now that Dead Island is finally out, is it actually any good? Yes, yes it is. "
We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.
but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!
Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games
Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!

It’s the music. It’s perfect. I agree with this for sure, it is well choreographed….unfortunately the game didn’t live up to the trailer.
Have you ever seen any of the MGS 3 or MGS 4 trailers? Those blow this out of the water for me.

Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."
The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago
Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.
The reviews range from 3-9.5 for this game lol. I don't recall a game with such mixed reviews for some time.
Sure is a mixed one.
'Dead Island plays like a great mix of Fallout, Borderlands, Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising. All great games on their own but spliced together you get an amazing journey of survival horror in Dead Island. With a lengthy campaign to be played alone or online cooperatively, plenty of collectibles to be found and a huge island to explore, you are going to be playing this for a while, and loving every minute of it.'
Spot on.
I can't stop raving about this game!!
And I just found out I haven't even left the first area!
btw, i also got x360 version, despite seeing the Head2Head yesterday. I think both versions must have texture issues in the beginning scenes, cause it's just lag. and it does not happen after your intro the game. Looks GREAT!
9.5 for a game like this? So it's more or less up there with the best FPS this generation, then? A score like 9.5 should not be dished out like it's flavour of the month or something, because that seems to be the trend with reviews these days for every other game that comes out. Proof that gaming journalism has gone down the shitter big style.
