  • Review Dead Island: Riptide (PlayStation 3)

    Better off dead

    Dead Island: Riptide brings you back to the unfortunate backdrop of the Banoi archipelago where 2011’s flawed Dead Island left off. The infection has spread to a neighbouring island, forcing the four survivors of the previous game and one newcomer (John, a rude ex-soldier) to try and make it through another tropical apocalypse.

    Not a dreadful start for Sony's niche demon slayer

    Despite a slight slump in sales, Dead Island: Riptide maintained its position atop the UK sales charts this week, batting off NetherRealm Studios’ likeable brawler Injustice: Gods Among Us with a big stick. Steady seller Tomb Raider waited around in third, while FIFA 13 dribbled into fourth...

  • News Deep Silver Issues Apology Over Dead Island: Riptide Bust

    Company made a huge boob

    In what’s looking more and more like a publicity stunt, publisher Deep Silver has issued an apology over its controversial Dead Island: Riptide collector’s edition. For those who haven’t been keeping abreast of the situation, the company announced the grotesque premium bundle earlier today, which includes a statue of a...

  • News Dead Island: Riptide's Busty Collector's Edition Is Hideous

    Put it away

    Of all the collector’s editions that we’ve had the misfortune of posting about, this is probably the worst. Deep Silver has announced the UK premium bundle for Dead Island: Riptide – and it includes a bleeding pair of knockers. The publisher claims that the grotesque, er, bust is the title’s own “take on an iconic Roman marble...

  • News Dead Island: Riptide's Debut Trailer Is Simple But Effective

    Everlasting love

    It was always going to be difficult for Techland to match the announcement trailer that essentially ensured the original Dead Island’s commercial success. As such, it’s not especially surprising that this debut Dead Island: Riptide short doesn’t quite elicit the same response. The video adopts a similar formula to its...

  • News Dead Island: Riptide Continues the Holiday from Hell Next Year

    Stay at home

    The last thing you want when you escape from a tropical island inhabited by the undead is to get shipwrecked on the same infected archipelago during your daring escape – but that’s exactly what happens in Dead Island: Riptide. The spin-off – not sequel – will feature the same four survivors from the original game, as they’re...
