I’ll say one thing for the Dead Island series - it sure has done well off the back of some mildly misleading advertising . The original Dead Island notoriously caught public attention with one of the most memorable trailers of all time, a veritable short film contrasting sentimental music against the heartrending visual of a young family being ravaged by zombies. Its disturbingly heartfelt nature suggested Techland was bringing something more thoughtful, hopefully more remarkable, than the average zombie game.
