I'm getting tired of mindless zombie games (or horror games this generation). Most try to make the characters seem interesting or slap a story on it & hope it stays. What happened to games like Resident Evil 2, Fatal Frame 2 or Silent Hill 2.
Sorry if I missed some "great" horror games but Dead Space was probably the only horror game I decided to drop $60 for this generation. I paid for others like Zombie Apocalypse & Dead Nation but those were cheapos & expectedly didn't last long.
To sum it up, I don't see Dead Island appealing. I don't mind catching it used at my work or paying $10 but it really doesn't stand out of the crowd for me.
