*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.

If I was stranded on a zombie infested island island the person I would like have with me is… Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd – Who Framed Roger Rabbit) as he is a toon and can survive almost everything (apart from ‘the dip’ – but thats unlikely to be on said zombie infested island) – I think he’d be vicious enough to slay the zombies but at the same time be crazy enough to combine strange and wacky every day items to fight the zombie hoard.
His high concentrations of crazy will also make the horrific situation quite amusing when he comes out with mildly amusing comments and crazy eyes. I think as an added bonus he will have his Weasel henchmen chaps with him and they were amusing bickering and fighting with one another so when he goes on his zombie murdering rampage – the weasels can entertain me…

If I was stranded on a zombie infested island I’d choose to be stuck with Adam West Batman and his bat-zombie repellent! That man is the master of escaping impossible situations!

If i was stranded on a zombie infested island I would have with me VP of Zombie Extermination Kevin Butler so we can both go around the nearest supermarket with our shotguns…. Clean-Up in Aisle BOOM!

If I was stranded on a desert island I would have Bruce Campbell with me. Then, well we’d be fine, we would just chill with a few beers and watch some b-movies. I mean what kind of zombie would mess with a guy that’s got a shotgun, and a chainsaw for an arm?

I’d probably go for House (MD). There doesn’t seem to be an illness he can’t cure which would make invaluable against any illness/injury, and the virus itself thus potentially being able to leave us on a once again habitable tropical island. Furthermore he’d probably have a shit load of vicodin on him and would be able to amuse me with his sharp wit. And worst case scenario, I could defo out-run the cripple.
Alternatively I’d go for Wilson the volley ball. Wilson is a great listener, and could be used as a weapon (until deflated). He was a true hero in Castaway and held out for Tom Hanks right to the end so has an abundance of tropical island survival experience.
Youles
FYI – House would be my entry, Wilson was more for amusement! Plus, Hugh Laurie was an excellent rower which might come in handy.

The zombie episode of house is Brilliant!
DRCD1
HE HAS A CANE-AXE and a CANE-SHOTGUN!!!
Youles
Yeah, it’s awesome….forgot about that!! Lol

If I was stranded on a Desert Island, I’d have Glados (in Potato form) with me from Portal 1/2. I’d then attach her robot spud-ness to a wooden spear which I would carve from a piece of driftwood, and listen to her sing the Portal ‘Still Alive’ Song as I pierce her and the spear into the foreheads of approaching Zombie scum. :)
Stil aliiiiive.

I’d have Megaman, along side the zombies will be destroyed, nothing can defeat the Mega Buster.

Mega Busters makes me thing of big boobs… which is good
Sympozium
I guess…

If I was stranded on a desert island I would have Dave Benson Phillips. Mainly because he is awesome and we could create loads of gunge and ‘gunk dunk’ all the zombies. Well, all the grown-up zombies anyway.
trollmonster
I met him once at Chessington World of Adventures. What a man!
DrNate86
If I’m stranded on a zombie infested island I would want Dappy from N-Dubz with me, because if I am going to die in a zombie apocalypse, I am going to make damn sure he does too.
Sympozium
Maybe Megaman can get his hat powers after he’s defeated?
Youles
It’s a good choice but I’d take Kerry Katona over Dappy all day long :)
DrNate86
Realistically, I’d need a bus to take all the minor celebrities I would want with me on the trip. Or a coach, if you prefer. Except there are no red and yellow cards to see you on your way, just a hoard of ravenous zombies.
*Sighs happily*
Youles
Too many to mention, aren’t there! Basically anyone who’s featured in Heat.
DrNate86
After spotting the actual rules (and stupidly posting a Michael Jackson joke someone had already made the page before, like the wily fox that I am), I checked and N-Dubz have featured in LBP by way of music video, so hopefully that will do for a videogame reference!

If I was stuck on a desert island, I would have with me Chuck Greene from Dead Rising 2. The man is a genius being able to create a Darth Maul style chainsaw stick thingy. If one of us was to lose our legs, he’s knows how to armour up a wheelchair, and the guy cannot die and is not afraid of dying….What more could you ask for except an ice cream? Oh….he’s probably got that covered as well…..

Pants! That was my idea. Thinking cap back on.
