If you haven’t been keeping up with PlayStation Home you might want to check it out right now. The Central Plaza has transformed into a beautiful resort inhabited by bloodthirsty zombies. I messed around with the Dead Island mini game for a bit and kicked a zombie’s head off with my Chun-Li homie. She even chopped off a few arms with a machete. It really makes me wonder why Chun-Li isn’t a playable character in Resident Evil…
PlayStation Home isn’t the only place with zombie fever. Deep Silver has released a bunch of Dead Island related items for your Xbox 360 avatar, which includes clothing based on the four main characters and a paddle for beating up the undead.
Dead Island is set to release on September 6th in North America for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. If you pre-order from Amazon you’ll get nifty digital art book. It has a map of the Royal Palm Resort that shows you the locations of all the weapon mod blueprints in that area. Europeans get the game on September 9th along with the Bloodbath Arena DLC for pre-ordering.

Sounds alright, probably not enough to make me get home though..
Nifty digital art book? sounds lame, I love real art books, but digitising it really isn’t the same :(

I tried to play this game, it broke. Home’s life story, unfortunately.
Delriach
haha.

try it for free on ur xbox360… whoops i forgot, they don’t really move
The Lone Steven
I was hoping that Chun Li would be using her moves to defeat the zombies. It looks interesting but is not enough to justify downloading Home and installing it again.
I think a MK character would fit right in with this. FINISH HIM! zombieality( yeah, not Fatality parodies don’t sound awesome)
Delriach
I was going to use a Resident Evil character but I don’t have the avatar items. Plus Chris doesn’t look as scary when he’s not pumped up with roids.
The Lone Steven
I think in the next Resident Evil Game, Chris won’t need guns as he would be able to take on Tyrants with his bare fists. he may be mistaken as a Bioweapon. :p
What did you win for playing this?
Delriach
if you complete all the challenges you unlock zombie bait and exploding meat for Dead Island.

Man, Chun-Li can wield the hell out of a machete ;)
All in the thighs.
Delriach
Damn straight :P

Looks cool. Quite violent for home, but cool nonetheless.
Delriach
Yeah, that surprised me lol. When I kicked the zombie’s head off I was like O_O

They should make this a PSN game.
It’d sell by the bucketload.
Delriach
They would really have to improve the animations and collision. It’d be fun though if it was more polished.

If you complete all 10 Challenges you get an exclusive weapon to use in Dead Island. Guess I’m gonna have to continue to play this crap game, lol
Origami Killer
Looks quite fun and terrible at the same time. Went on home quite recently to play some of the new levels and mini games, was fairly good. I think i will keep to my preorder on the real Dead Island though

Wow – So they are promoting the hell out of dead island then!
Activision could learn a lot from this! :)
