Dead Island – A First Person Kill Fest. You get to start your Kill Fest with Either Sam B – The Brother, Xion Mei – Jackie Chans Sister, Logan – Drunk punk White guy and finally Purna – Some kinda Leader. Each have there own Weapon Speciality. I decided to go with The Brother.

First time in I get out of the Hotel into the beach area and killed a few Walkers then ran into my first Thug oh dear. I ran straight in twatted him in the face with my brand new Unreliable Crowbar and he threw my ass 4 meters back on my ass and started his attack on me. after quickly learning the strategy to killing this behemoth I eventually broke both of his arms and eventually killed him, Great animation when you break the zombies arms they just dangle there like theres a bag of snooker balls in his arms great stuff.

Completed loads of side quests great first day…. what happend next only effects PS3 cause appartently PC & Xbox 360 have enough sense to make a manual save option. I looked for a save function couldnt find one so guessed the Checkpoint messages that kept coming up were a sort of Auto saving, Next day Load up my account and boom I’m back to about the beginning lost all my exp and lvl’s and nifty weapons. (BAD) quite a big dam error on the developers part, But all this can be resolved by just going online. So heres my heads up if you want this game and play PS3 you will need a online connection or your going to have a bad time.

Onto the good aspects. I’m very happy to say the Detail in gore in this Game is much higher than alot of games I’ve seen, you are litterally able to chop every limb off zombies or humans in game. I was very pleased when I strolled up to a zombie running at me full pelt and with a gentle tap of the R1 his head rolled miles away. the developers actually took into account the speed it was running at me into account!! thats the kinda detail Games these days need, after its head was severed, I went on to remove the already dead zombies arms and legs with much delight. blood was spirting everywhere. Game developers did an amazing job on detail but I feel it could have gone further I wanna see Bone I wanna see intestines I want it to be acurate If i slash a katana at a zombies chest/rib area, I wanna see him effected by the blow i’ve dealt not just get back up as if i gave him a gentle tap on the back.
I almost considered this a bad game at the beginning only cause of the lack of save function on the PS3 but Dead Islands Game play is pleasant and you’ll soon forget there was even a problem in the first place, Storyline is alright and graphic & gore has my thumbs up, its a game you should definetly consider buying.

We want MORE DETAILED GORE!!! More ways of developing weapons & When leveling up more skills to level up. Increase HP Increase Stamina. Get to it Dead Island Crew.

Overall I rate this 7/10

Last night saw the release of a MW2 Patch for Xbox 360/PS3/PC which addressed the issue of the Care Package speed.

Source: gamersblogs.com

Here is the full details of the patch:

“We’ve updated the PC version of Modern Warfare 2, including the following fixes:

- Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized.
- Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry.
- Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s.
- Improved player collision removing cases of getting into geometry and ‘elevators’.
- Mouse latency tweaks for more mouse movement consistency. (PC-ONLY)
- Fixes to prevent various texture hacks (PC-ONLY)

- Fix to prevent various XP hacks, including the prevention of obtaining negative XP.

These fixes, excluding the ones I’ve labeled as (PC-ONLY), are currently in test for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions as well. Before you ask why there is a delay from PC to consoles, it’s because we can update IW-NET directly and therefore the fastest. The console versions require additional testing through their respective manufacturers.”

So the care package exploit/glitch has been addressed so you haters will have to find something else to troll over.

I would like to see more action taken by Microsoft to address the lobby problems. Over the past few days I have noticed that the match making has gone terrible. Im in a party with 4 mates and it can take 5 minutes+ to find a game. When it eventually finds a game it manges to kick you from the lobby. We noticed that if your in a lobby and your mic logo vanishes then your going to be kicked. Sort its out Microsoft, I dont pay 39.99 a year for this service. /rant

Microsoft have banned as many as 1 million gamers from Xbox Live for breaching the Digital Rights Management system by using a modified Xbox 360.

User who have previously used a modified Xbox 360 on Xbox Live were shown the following message: “no recourse for terms of use violations”. Affected 360’s will still be able to use it offline, but in order to re-connect to Xbox Live, users must recover gamer tags from another Xbox 360.

This coincides with the highly anticipated release of the latest addition to the Call Of Duty franchise Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2. A statement from Microsoft suggests that it was timed to prevent the users from playing pirated copies of the game.

However I think it’s just think it’s been timed perfectly to increase sales of the Xbox 360 consoles. I would take a wild guess that over 50% of the 1 million banned will go out and buy a new Xbox, so that they can play the MW2. SNEAKY RUSSIANS.

For those who have a flashed xbox 360, you can get your hands on modern warfare 2. There are numerous videos out there that show the guns, perks and game play but I feel this one sums it up the best, thanks goes to chigley.

However im sure you all know that if your caught using a flashed Xbox 360, you can say bye bye to your Xbox live, which will require you to buy a new Xbox live to re-connect.

I’m eagerly anticipating the release, but I wouldn’t go as far as flashing my Xbox 360 to get it 10 days early. I like my Xbox live subscription, as its the only thing that keeps me on Xbox.

On a side note, Ive seen numerous copy’s of Modern Warfare on eBay, which is all foobar. Whats gets me is that there are many auctions for the prestige edition, which are going for in excess of £140.

Roll on the 10/11/09 :D
