The lights are on  What's Happening  Dead Island Review- A
Bloody Mess  What can I say about Dead Island? Well first off,
this game is a bloody mess. No pun intended. When this game was
first announced I rolled my eyes thought to myself, "Do we
really need another zombie game?" Months later I saw the trailer
with everything in reverse and thought it had a really cool tone
and perhaps maybe an emotional story. Maybe it would in a sense
redefine zombie games.  Well I was obviously wrong. For
starters, the story and emotional depth I was expecting is
completely non existant. I usually listen to all dialogue to
flesh out the story and understand the plot. Nope. Not here.
After the first hour I knew right away that story was not the
intent  I have a love, hate relationship to the combat. On one
hand it is extremely satisfying to cut limbs off of your undead
foes and make the ground red with their blood. On the other hand
it got repetitive real fast.
