*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 I would want Simon Cowell there. I’m pretty sure his ‘smart arse, I know everything attitude’ would disappear instantly and I’d temporarily team up with the zombies (The enemy of you enemy etc lol) and knock his ‘nice’ teeth out and stamp on his chest with both feet. (Sick of him pushing it in the nations face with his shirt half undone everytime he appears on TV.)
After doing the world this favour I would gladly go down fighting and probably laughing at Simon’s corpse while I did.

If I was stranded on a Zombie infested Island I would hands down bring Jedward… If there performing didnt make the zombies want to eat their own brains they would provide fantastic bait and buy me the time to get out of there…

Defeating an undead army requires a certain amount of skill, but also, a whole lot lot of Hack & Slash.
Therefore…

ok, my phone decided to submit that before I’d finished… let’s try again.

If I were stranded on a zombie infested island I’d love to have the recently crowned queen of Hacks, former NOTW Editor Rebekah Brooks by my side. (Besides which, She once gave TV “hardman” Ross Kemp a kicking, and also, I hear she’s not too busy at the moment.)
If that’s not allowed, because she’s not, as per the rules “a game or movie character” how about Former Guns N Roses frontman Slash? (He was in Guitar Hero, right?)
Cheers guys.
[Terrible, I know.]

If I was stranded on a desert island I would climb a tree and watch the silly little buggers starve to death whilst I enjoyed a nice bit of coconut.

I’d bring Matt Damon. Cos they be killing Matt Damon; in the park, in the yard, by the tree, after dark, with a knife, or a stick, or a chainsaw to the biiiiits.
Come on…let’s go kill some Matt Damon.

MATT DAY-MON!

haha!

If I were stranded on an island, surrounded by zombies I’d take Matthew Quigley from “Quigley Down Under”. His sharpshooting will keep the horde at bay and in the quiet moments between the slaughter me and Tom Sell (the man who portrayed him on film) could discuss the lost art of body hair grooming and moustache cultivation.

If I was stranded on a desert island I would have Gimley from Lord of the Rings, we’d have a good competition to see who could kill the most zombies, obviously counting aloud as we plow through the undead.
Rocket_345
but if you killed a big fucker it would still only count as 1.

haha, spot on. What an epic joke that was

I would have to have Frank Drebin from The Naked Gun fight beside me. That way you can be safe in the knowledge that you will eventually save the day (most likely unintentionally), possibly confuse the zombies with the occaisional completely deadpan response, and generally have a good time being completely oblivious to the fact that there is a zombie war going on around you while you go for a drive to pick up your dry cleaning.

If I was stranded on an island infested with ravenous zombies I’d like to ensure Katie Price, Jedward, Mick Hucknall, Gary Neville and Robert Mugabe were my comrades.
There’s no way God above would ensure their survival ahead of mine.

I would want to have the entire gaggle of celebrities currently occupying the Big Brother House with me(not sure what the correct collective noun is for a group of b-listers) because, if I were faced with certain death at the hands of a never ending stream of ravenous zombies, I could take some comfort that I had at least taken some of the useless prats with me.
