    I just received an e-mail from Gamefly. They shipped the game this morning. I will have the game in hand by Tuesday, since Monday is Labor Day.

    Just in case you haven't seen it already, the IGN review is up - everybody breathe, it doesn't blow chunks! By the sounds of it, it's pretty damn good too...

    Reviews have thus far been around 8/10 to 8.5/10!? Not too bad!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Ha! Ha! Great minds think alike.

    Those scores put it about level with Dead Rising so it looks like some good zombie slayin' times ahead!

    C'mon Friday!

    While I've not got the game, I saw a video online that gives you an easter egg - apparently you start off in a hotel room, and you have to go right - instead, go left first, and you'll find a little easter egg.

    so apparently the digital download off this from places like steam is NOT the retail dead island. its the devbuild debug version. Full of faulty code, quick fixes, console prompts that shouldnt be and things like a dodgy half finished 3rd person mode.
    Basically its being called the games industry blunder of the year and needless to say, if you arent buying a hard copy. dont. not yet at least.

    Whats the recommended PC specs for this game then? My PC is on the brink of needing a new processor and main board to be able to run the latest games, some it copes well with, others (like Bulletstorm) it struggles with on high settings!

    But it hasn't been released on Steam yet has it? Has it?

    Seems a VERY serious/daft blunder!?

    I swear dude, I almost never play his 360. Now, if I decide to get it on the PC, there's no way anyone else is playing that shit but me, but I tend to stay away from the 360 only because I cannot STAND the controller and it's lack of accuracy as compared to using a keyboard/mouse.

    Don't worry, I'll get sucked into it, just not on Xbox.
