Win Dead Island

Brainssss!

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.

  1. If I was stranded on a desert island I would have Stepen Hawking (superhero movie) with me because even if his giant brain didnt fill the zombies up i’m pretty sure i could run outrun him.

  2. If I were stranded on a desert island, I would bring Alan Partridge. Not only would his endless blunders keep me entertained (“Ha ha ha ha ha. You’ve got to laugh when you fall off a sofa! Ruddy Sofa!”), but he’s already noted his disdain for the undead while playing the Crisis Zone arcade game against a child: ‘Shitty zombies!’

  3. If I were stranded on a desert island I would bring Hit-Girl from the KickAss film. Not only is she damn good with regular guns and most melee weapons, her athletic ability means zombies wouldnt even get close as she sliced and diced her way through. Plus all the swearing and one liners coming out of her mouth would be hilarious.

  4. If i was stranded on a zombie infested island i would have arnold schwarzenegger with me, not only is he a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton, he would terminate, erase, cause collateral damage, go commando, try to cut a raw deal with the boss zombie and if that didnt work and we were over run with zombies, at least I’d hear “RUN! GO! GET TO DA CHOPPA!”

  5. If I was stranded on a desert island I would have John Rambo from the Rambo movies as he is a killing machine and if he can take down an entire army by himself he must be able to take down a zombie army and it would mean less work for me.

  6. alexander the meercat because he could try to sell them car insurance simples

    • *keh* (meercat sound, its very nice)

  7. If I was stranded on a desert island I’d take Mick Hucknall with me so I could beat him to death.

  8. If syranded on a desert island I would take Mr Freeze cos zombies can’t function when frozen. And zombie popsicles sound yum.

    • If I was syranded on a desert island I’d take a spellchecker with me :-P

      (Any spelling errors in this post are purely ironic)

    • ? but they can break free after a couple of secondsm its like with Dead Block (PSN game)

      • But I’d smashy smash them before then. With localy sourced organic coconuts.

  9. If I was stranded on a Zombie desert island I would take Michael Jackson with me, and we’d throw the BIGGEST THRILLER PARTY THERE EVER WAS!

    • The fact that he’s now a real zombie makes it all the more authentic. Sublime. :)

    • Surely we have a winner right here

    • Winner.

    • There must be double points in there somewhere as he’s a movie star and a Game character too ? ;)

  10. I’ve realised I completely ignored the fact it is meant to be someone from a game or movie! In that case (he definitely has a game and movie):

    I would take Michael Jackson, so when he reanimates we can re-enact the Thriller video.

    *Grabs crotch* Hoo!

    • Son of a diddly, beaten to the comment by my slow fingers!
