Yesterday a trailer for a new video game called Dead Island became an instant Internet sensation.
Dead Island: Riptide is the followup to Dead Island, an intriguing and deeply flawed open-world zombie game.
The original Dead Island was the stuff sequels are made of: a rough, but intriguing idea, a questionable implementation and miles of room to grow.
Dead Island: Riptide will be released on April 23 (US) and April 26 (Europe), published by Deep Silver, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
Dead Island: Riptide is determined to stymie fun at all opportunities.
Dead Island 2 (rumored to be Dead World) is some way down the line, but Riptide joins Metro: Last Light and Saints Row 4 in a surprisingly strong lineup.
Please, please abort this terrible idea, Dead Island team.
