Darling of the censors, Dead Island, is back in hot zombie-shark infested waters. Not content with showing brain-munching schoolgirls getting thrown through a window backwards, it looks like Techland’s logo for their upcoming title has been deemed too gruesome for general public consumption in North America.
Depicting what we assume is someone not only dead but quite undead (we hope), the logo’s “I” is (well, was) a corpse hanging from a palm tree. The ESRB, protectors of moral decency and authors of some of the funniest content I’ve ever had the privilege of reading, has decided no; that’s a bit too much. Now we have the much scarier concept of an active zombie coming for us. Thanks ESRB!
It appears Europeans, with their crazy drug laws, open attitude to prostitution, and Jedward, are wholly morally corrupt as it is, so we’re still getting the original, sick, twisted graphic.
Check out the differences between the two below. Don’t blame us if you run out and set fire to a shopping cart or anything.

Maybe the board didn’t have the problem with the hanging body, but with the fact a palm branch couldn’t support a grown man’s weight!
