Trailer Trash-Talkin'

Deep Silver released a forty-five minute playable demo of 'Dead Island', a highly anticipated game following the release of it's counterpoint trailer.  The game allows the player to choose from 4 different characters to play as, each with their own specific style of fighting and dialogue.   The reviewer said that the gameplay is in the first person shooter genre, with many many up close and personal encounters with zombies from the island.  A good selling point for the game is the drop-in, drop-out multi-player option.  A player can join their friends to play and assist at any point in a campaign.  I have been waiting for games like 'Halo' to include this multiplayer option for several years now--- finally a developer has added the feature.  The game has a few similarities to already-released games, but left the reviewer wanting for more.
