Get those RPG damage numbers and XP indicators off of the damn screen. This is a scary zombie armageddon game, not Borderlands with baseball bats.

MORE NUMBERS!

The trailer was awesome but I don't think the game is going to be as good as I originally imagined

I've seriously lost interest in this. Just seems 'Meh'. Might put it on my Lovefilm rental list once I've got some better games finished.

Dead Island Comic Now Available Digitally

Deep Silver has today released a six-page comic book, which tells the story leading up to the events you'll play through in Dead Island when it launches in a few weeks time.

The Dead Island comic book introduces a new character called Robert Howard, a journalist who's travelled to the island paradise of Banoi to investigate illegal exploitation of the island's resources. Upon his exploration of Banoi's Royal Palms Resort hotel, Howard discovers a terrible secret.

Dead Island's prequel comic book story was penned by the creative team at Marvel Custom Solutions, which consists of writer William Dailey and artists Jorge Lucas, Juan Santacruz, Diego Olmos, Carlos Rodriguez and Sergio Arino. The Dead Island comic also features some screaming zombie cleavage on the cover (pictured) by Christian Nauck.

You can flick through the Dead Island digital comic book now over at marvel.com/digitalcomics. Dead Island is out on September 6th in North America and September 9th in Europe.

I'm liking the game so far. Its definitely a combination of Left 4 Dead, Borderlands, and Oblivion.

ya i like it too. I think you can turn off the damage indicators though so the numbers go away.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. Makes knocking out some of these co-op achievements a bit tough. Hopefully they'll fix this soon.

I"m having a problem where people keep joining my games lol. I'd rather not have some random douche bag join my game. It always seems to happen when i'm paused too lol.

P.S. i am addicted to this game for some reason.

Lesson for Dead Island developers: Allow players to mute other players.

I just got done playing with a guy who was evidently multitasking by playing while watching a porno at the same time. At first I couldn't tell what it was... Between the moments of all the loud zombie killing action I would hear strange, non-zombie-killing-related noises and I was wondering what the crap that was. I thought maybe he was talking to his wife or something, because I could hear a female voice in there. Turns out that the reason why I couldn't understand what the chick was saying was because she wasn't so much saying things as she was moaning things.

I tried to wait it out, but it was like the longest porn ever. Eventually I had to leave because I couldn't hear the cutscene dialogue over all the sexing.

Sorry, Shakes. I'll mute my mic next time.

I swear to God that I thought they were eating icecream at first, and really, really enjoying it.

A half hour later; I'm wondering just how much friggin icecream they have, and why hearing them eat it is turning me on so much. At that point it dawned on me.
