We don’t mean to be snarky, but did Dead Island actually win any game of the year awards? Sure, the Techland title had some great ideas, but the execution was far too sloppy to grant it any gongs in our eyes. Still, that’s not stopped British ratings board, the BBFC, from listing a "Game of the Year" edition of the undead adventure on its database.
The listing touts a 30th June release date for the retail release, but few other details are revealed. Presumably the repackaged title bundles the original game with its Ryder White and Bloodbath Arena DLC expansions. Either that or it’s a totally new game actually worthy of its award-winning moniker. Stranger things have happened.

I'm sure there is one alternate universe in which Dead Island was objectively the best game that came out last year. Luckily we don't live in that alternate universe.
@Phoenixborn Put it better than I ever could.
Well, it won the "best trailer" Game of the Year category on GameTrailers...I suppose a desperate marketing employee could have grasped that as an excuse for the title of this release.
