*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.

Ha! You should get something just for the effort!

cracking effort

Haha, awesome

I would have kratos fight by my side… Let’s face it, if I said the gods sent them here he’d do anything for me.

If I was stranded on a zombie infested desert island i’d be stranded with Activision CEO Bobby Kotick, so I. Could use his ginger ass as bait while progressivley beating him to unconsciously on a daily basis. I would then keep him as a pet when he finally turns. Id be the happiest man alive
And yes, he’s to be in a movie: Moneyball
360 version please x

*unconsciousness
I got a little dery fantasising the scenario.
Sympozium
SO evil….. Bobby is innocent

If I was stuck on a desert island I would have the Count from Sesame Street with me and he could count all the zombies I mash up.
1. Mwah – ha – ha
2. Mwah – ha – ha
Then I’d be dead I imagine but we would have made the skies roar with thunder and lightning, if only for a couple of minutes.
Sympozium
Mwah-ha-ha, how many times does it take for a zombie to consume a human?

I’d take Kate Beckinsale as Selene from any of the Underworld films as she’s good with a gun and also swords. Any swords. Pork swords. My pork sword. mmmnnnmmmnnmmmmm *Drools*

If I were stranded on an island full zombies with my family trying to eat through my face, I think I’d like to take Giles Lamb so he could play, on a piano, a very saddening accompaniment to my demise :)

If I was stranded on a desert island, I’d take Nicholas cage from knowing because he’s such a fail of an actor, the zombies wouldn’t want his brain anyway, they’d just leave us alone.
(If your not sure what I mean, in knowing he was shouting “hey!” at a guy on fire to try catch his attention…:l)

I’m not in the UK but I want to participate anyway. If I (however unlikely) should reach the top 5 just give the prize to whoever is next in line.
I’d bring any of those “Gaming turns kids into monsters” journalists / scientists / politicians (and I use the term scientist and journalist _very_ loosely here).
That way I wouldn’t feel guilty if I had to use him/her as bait or a diversion. Also they could be used to sneak past the zombies to fetch/unlock/whatever stuff, the zombies would likely ignore them as they already have no brains.
Bladesteel
And a good thing I’m outside of the UK since my entry would be invalid anyway. Seems I have to choose an imaginary character (although some of those people are so stupid I have to wonder if they are real)
As for movie/game person I’f bring? Ellen Ripley (preferably out of the fourth movie when she’s the most badass). After dealing with acid blooded aliens a few slow moving zombies will be a walk in the park.

Shame it’s a movie or video game character, I so would’ve took Gaz from Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. xD
But I would take Sam from The Lord of the Rings series. Let’s face it, Frodo wouldn’t have lasted two minutes without him and even though he’s a wuss in every meaning of the term, he’s still there to fight most things!
Fair enough he probably wouldn’t be too great in a zombie invasion but he would be able to attack their kneecaps and slow them down, he would also be less likely to be bitten as I’ve never seen a zombie bend over.

lol gaz would get my vote too

If I was stranded on a desert island I would bring Lapras and use surf.
