*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.

Jesus Christ, The original reanimated corpse! With Infinite loaves, fishes and cheap red plonk I could wait out the apocalypse indefinitely. Plus those carpentry skills would come in mighty handy for crafting tools to dispatch any of the walking dead that got too close.

Is he counted as a movie character? I’m sure hes somewhere in the background in life of Brian.

Anyone from Onechanbara (Google it) and then I could sit and perv while they kill all the zombies. Which is more or less what most people seem to do when they play that game anyway.

If I was stranded on a desert island I would have Father Grigori from HL2, if he can survive Ravenholm, a desert island would be easy. A distinct lack of zombies, especially fast and poison headcrabs would mean he could spend most of the day building traps and preaching..

If I was stranded on a desert island I would have Chuck Greene from Dead Rising 2 beside me, as not only is he pretty handy with a makeshift weapon (creating some things that the regular mortal would not even dream of!), but he has also proven himself to be a pretty good scapegoat – Therefore if things did happen to go a bit ‘pear shaped’, i could just casually point the finger at him & walk off into the sunset with my hands in my pockets whistling a cheerful ditty!
Evil? Me? Never! :D

Joe Danger, definitely, he’s no stranger to perilous situations so I’m sure zombies would be no trouble for him. If he was there it would probably be part of his island tour so the island would be set up with various ramps, traps and obstacles that would help us survive the zombie onslaught.
Plus if things go pear-shaped I can always feed him to the zombies (should keep them busy for a while as he’s still carrying a few extra pounds) and make a quick escape on his motorcycle. Not that I would want to, I like him, but ‘survival of the fittest, not fattest’, and all that.

Not read everyone comments but that those I have are taking someone of no use at all.
I myself would take Aladdin’s lamp give it a quick rub the lamp that is, then have my 3 wishes from the GENIE of which the first would be to get the frak of the island. Im not going to mess around fighting my way thru hoards of zombie’s when I could have more fun doing it from the convenience of my own sofa with my newly won game and without becoming a mindless zombie for real (My Wife might disagree here). I’d also still have 2 wishes left.

If I was stranded on a desert island I would have Charlie Chaplin beside me. Dunno if that ‘ll help, but I’d sure be a funny sight.
GearsofMush
If I was stranded on a Desert Island I would pick Bruce Campbell all round zombie Legend killing machine, with his dry wit, BOOM stick and removable arm chainsaw I could quite easily leave him to defend the Island while I basked in the sunshine sipping cocktails and awaiting rescue!!

Staying true to my username… I’d opt to have Fifa’s version of Christiano Ronaldo. He’s untouchable, overpowered and seems to do everything perfectly on the virtual field… Don’t see why he’d be any different on an island.
