*THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED*
So we all know that the announcement trailer for Dead Island was pretty damn good, epic even. While the actual release might not exactly be tear jerkingly profound, the game has brilliantly sinister characters who are let loose in an open world environment where terror reigns.
You’ll have to fend for yourselves against hordes of a variety of undead from the obligatory zombie bikini babes and surfer dudes to The Butcher, with its sharp elbows; The Drowner, with its floods of body fluids; The Thug, hardened criminals turned even harder zombie criminals; and The Floater (not sure I want to know about that one); all while completing tasks for survivors à la Fallout using an RPG style levelling up system.
If all of this sounds like something you’d enjoy, you’ll be glad to know that we have five copies of Dead Island on PS3 to throw at you lot, like an axe at a zombies skull but hopefully a little less painful and intrusive.
All we ask from you is that you use that brain of yours one last time – because lets face it, the undead have already started taking over your town – and let us know which video game or movie character you’d have fight beside you on a zombie infested island and why? For example:
If I was stranded on a desert island I would have Simon Pegg out of Shaun of the Dead beside me so we could pretend to be zombies, sit it out with a pint in The Winchester and wait for all this to blow over.
The more inventive or funny the answer, the better! The five that we deem the best will win a copy of the game. Answers must be sent on a bloodstained postcard.
Not really, but if you could submit your entry in the comments section below that would be fantastic.  The competition will run through to 9:00pm on Friday 9th September and winners will be notified by the email address linked to your TSA account the following day after we’ve sifted through the submissions.

OK, I would take a small-ish group with me, they would be great people to have fighting alongside me as they have a wealth of experience fighting bad guys/zombies, but at the same time they would be no great loss should the die in battle – due to some of their past work I think they deserve it. They are; John Leguizamo, Bob Hoskins, J C Van Damme, Kylie, Timothy Olyphant, The Rock, Mark Wahlberg, Milla Jovovich, Anelina Jolie, etc, (ok, a bigger group than I first thought). They would all be representing and dressed as the game characters they once played. So before all you guys have a hissy fit, Kylie would be ok, it would just be her awful portrayal of Cammy that would die.

I’d choose, Morgan freeman, As any character he’d ever played. I know that each night as traumatized as i’d be from smashing zombies all day, He’d talk you into a sense of calm. Also he could charm a few zombies into submission too. Also having him commentating over each of your zombie kills you be fantastic

“And who are you? So full of hate that you have to fight everybody, because you’ve been whipped and chased by hounds. Well that might not be living, but it sure as hell ain’t dying. And dying’s been what these white boys have been doing for going on three years now, dying by the thousands, dying for you, fool.”

Also having him commentating over each of your zombie kills WOULD be fantastic. Sorry mistake there. And a brilliant quote.

If I was stranded on a desert island I would have the whole Jersey Shore cast beside me simply because I would enjoy watching them die :) not sure all that fake tan would taste too nice either, so hopefully it would exterminate the zombies :D

George Michael in his Wham days so he can sing Club Tropicana to me while the carnage ensues. I feel it would lighten the atmosphere somewhat and maybe turn the situation around for a sexy zombie pool time party.

Must read requirements correctly.

Going to go for Paul Blart Mall Cop as zombie fodder just so I can watch him suffer the way I had too when watching the film, there will be enough of him and his crap films for me to make a slow leisurely escape

Hitler. I hear he’s pretty damn good at killing large groups of people.

I’d just like to say that some of these answers are absolutely wonderful! It’s going to be a task choosing just 5 winners.

If I was on a desert island I would like to have Dom Cobb (Leonardo Di Caprio’s character in Inception) with me as he could put me in to a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream so that een if I only have 5 minutes before the zombies catch me, I can live for what feels like decades!
Plus if it all goes pearshaped he was pretty nifty with a gun, always handy with the undead around.
MadBoJangles
Probably Aeris, preferably before the Sephiroth bit.
As everyone knows casting heal or life on the undead = super effective :D
