REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Dead Island: Riptide Debuts Stunning CGI Trailer

Posted on Tuesday, September 18 @ 12:36:47 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

No matter what your thoughts on Dead Island are—low play value, repetition, bugs, etc.—one fact remains: the game sold a lot of units. As a result, a sequel is in the works, and the first order of hype is to release a CGI trailer that makes you instantly want to pre-order it.

Dead Island: Riptide now has a trailer for your eyes to feed on, and it doesn't disappoint. As with the original game, Riptide's debut trailer is rendered in stunning CGI centered around emotion with a soft, piano piece playing in the background and no words spoken.

You can view the trailer below:



The difference between the release of the original Dead Island's CGI trailer—which has over 20 million views spread across several outlets— and this is we now know that the game is nothing like the trailer. That is unless Techland can prove us wrong the second time around.

    Different countries different concepts of right and wrong.

    It's really not all that strange.

    What's the big deal? It's just like the CGI trailers for MMO's and most RPGs...barely reminiscent of the actual game.

    If the cabin filled with gas theyd have passed out and suffocated, similar to a long car ride and all inside have had Mexican food.

    The first bars of ukelele made me think of Tiny Tim. Please mute the audio and watch this with "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" playing.

    I haven't checked comment replies in a few, so I'm late. I think you took what I was saying much too literally. I'm not referring to time signatures or chords or anything specific. Just saying the video is extra awesome/creepy (because Tiny Tim is) with that song playing, and I only thought of it because of the ukelele at the beginning.

    It does sound familiar listening to the trailer beginning a third time, but sounds like this:

    DAMN! deep silver makes amazing trailers!!! the 1st trailer was so good LIONSGATE bought the rights to make a movie based on it... and this trailer, while not as good as the 1st is still stunning... now, i really enjoyed the underrated dead island, but... i wish the game could capture the magic of the trailers...

    sweet, Australian flag on the boat. was not expecting that. I know that doesn't necessarily mean the game will be set down here, but it would be nice to play a game set in Australia.

    So they spend more time creating engaging story-lines for the trailer and not the game. Got it!
