The DTOID Show: Max and Tara review Dead Island!
Happy holidays, Destructdudes! In light of the extended weekend and today's much-anticipated release of Dead Island, Max and I are coming at'cha with a full 20+ minute review of Deep Silver's latest zombie thriller. (Spoiler alert: It's fun!) This is the first full-on review we've done on the show, so please let us know what you thought or how we could tweak it! Alternatively, if you prefer reading to watching, be sure to check out Jim's thoughts on the game. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)i watched this review earlier. thought it was awesome. i am excited to pick my copy of dead island up. So how much of a "hassle" is the open world of this game? I'm kind of tired of being forced to walk for miles just to get to missions, but I also hated games like Assassin's creed where not only do you have to travel across a huge environment, but you are also being harassed by enemies the entire time. This game seems to be similar. What I got from the review is that its kind of shitty technical wise but fun as fuck. So I will wait for the patches and til it drops to $40. I can't wait. I'm a bit more confident in the game after seeing the review. Looking forward to it tomorrow or Wednesday. Loved the review. It is rare to see a full length review these days and taking questions was an awesome touch. Keep it up. Have to agree, very nice feature and answering community questions is a great idea that sets it apart from a normal written review. This is really cool guys. Most video reviews are about 5 minutes long, but I think it adds a lot to have a 20 minute in depth review of it. Very informative and useful for making ma' purchasing decisions! Keep up the great work, team. Why is it okay to completely ass fuck my man max with criticism, but anyone who knocks Tara gets the ban hammer? My bud got banned for saying that she needs a new (coffee) mug. True story. also liked it when you had whichever guest editor do a video piece summarizing their review - that worked well and it was fun. between that and doing reviews like these for co-op type games i think you could cover most of the big games and add a lot of value to the show. Nice job with your review..... totally glazes over the fact multi-player is a clunky piece of shit. Also, within fifteen minutes of the game coming out on steam you could no longer start a co-op game. Five minutes into the game, fell through the world due to a clipping error. Game is sweet, totally worth 50 bucks for an unfinished turd. "My bud got banned for saying that she needs a new (coffee) mug. True story."
