Comprehensive Dead Island Guide On IGN

Dead Island has been out for less than a week, but after playing if for a few hours you are guaranteed to have a few questions. Questions like, "How do the analog fighting controls work exactly?" or "Where the hell is that downed plane?"

If you're not into buying the strategy guide (available for $12.99 from Amazon.com) I would definitely check out the Dead Island Wiki Guide at IGN. It answered all the questions I had while playing, and even let me in on a few secrets that I hadn't thought of (like how to find the family that was featured in the awesome Dead Island trailer).

Battlefield Bad Company 2 DLC 50% Off

I know Battlefield 3 is coming out in a month and a half, and I realize that I was really, really late to the party playing Battlefield Bad Company 2. But as someone who just purchased most of this content in the past couple of months, this news doesn't make me very happy. I want half my points back for that stillborn Vietnam expansion bullshit.

Dead Island Looking More Popular Than Anticipated

So I went to my local Best Buy on Wednesday morning to pick up a copy of Dead Island, not having pre-ordered one and assuming they would have plenty of copies. Apparently I was wrong. The guy I talked to said that they completely sold out on the first day and they wouldn't have any more in until Friday at the earliest. I had him look up inventory at the other stores and they were completely sold out at every Best Buy in Vegas.

And it seems Vegas isn't an abberation, because after letting the other Gentlemen know, Jason found that the closest copy at a Best Buy in Boston was in a suburb way outside of town. Can this game be the sleeper hit that proves to be as popular among the big name titles coming out in the next few months?

My solution? Amazon Prime to the rescue. Four dollars for overnight shipping and it will cost me about as much as I'd pay at Best Buy with tax.

Get your copy now. Dead Island is still available for $59.99 at Amazon.com.
