All this news about Dead Island makes me want it that much more. So what if it's just another zombie survival game? As if that's a bad thing. Come on. "Too many zombies" is far from a bad thing, especially when it's handled as well as Dead Island seems to be.
Official Xbox Magazine teases a rebirth of "the best game ever," Rage has a not-so-online pass, Nick previews Dead Island, Nintendo patents massively singleplayer gaming, voting for Mass Effect 3's femshep was a mistake, and more happened on 8/12/11.

Dinosaurs
all these zmobies games could be unique all they gotta do is remove zombies add dinosaurs. This would equal mad money.
Imagine a L4D but with Dinos it gets 10x cooler.
also
Ice Cream Sandwiches > Zombies
Bagels > Zombies
Grandmas > Zombies
Porcupines > Zombies
Also, dinosaurs? Fuck yeah.
@Hazurr
I played the hell out of that game.
I consider it a flawed masterpiece
I don't know I think bagels and I can get back together at a later date, but for the meantime I need to try new thing, explore new breakfast foods yah know. It's my fault I shouldn't have over indulged myself.
I think it's partially because Capcom did such a horrendous job with Dino Crisis 3 that they effectively killed the sub-genre. I wouldn't be surprised if the big publishers blame the poor sales on the dinosaurs, these days they blame them on everything else *but* the quality of the game itself.
I hope you mean 'Nazi-Dinosaurs'... I mean: Nazi-Dinosaurs > everything else
It's fact
Guaranteed dud right there.
Gaming's take on zombies has mostly been "Hey look zombies, shoot them all." The medium has done a very poor job of emulating the claustrophobia and sense of dread that is supposed to go along with it.
