*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.

Well, I’ll bring Pac Man. He can Nom Nom Nom up the zombies. As long as there are no ghosts, we should be fine.

If I was stranded on a desert island I would simply need my towel, as taught to me by The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, or perhaps specifically Arthur’s towel. This towel and I would search the land together, fighting the island’s undead inhabitants in a great manner of ways. I could break a zombie’s neck with my towel, whip zombies on the butt in a slightly provocative manner, throw my towel over their faces to confuse them before I shoot them to prevent them from seeing me, tie my towel around a dead zombie’s leg and swing the corpse around in circles, clearing the way for an escape.
After fighting the undead, I could wash my towel and use it to bind any wounds I may have sustained. I could use it as a blanket in the cold, as an umbrella in the rain and as a shield in the wind.
After our efforts of survival, my towel and I shall have created an incredible, passionate bond. 9 months later, unexplained by science, I find myself pregnant with my towel’s child. We re-populate the world with a race of mutant towel people, fighting the undead until we wipe their entire existence from the island.
Finally victorious, I might just want a bath.
Towels are handy.

I would have Chris Redfield along side me, from the very original Resident Evil, loaded with shotguns and slow zombies it would be a fun time blowing their heads off and trying to find ways around the island! It was a classic awesome game! And he would be perfect person to fight along side!
