Dead Island breaks street date

MCV Staff 8th September 2011 Business News

GAME Australia has tweeted this morning that Dead Island has broken it’s street date, and multiple retailers are now selling the title.

The zombie/tiki first-person shooter was scheduled to land tomorrow, but is now being sold through GAME, EB Games and JB HiFi, with New Zealand’s major online videogame retailer Mighty Ape even promising same day shipping if orders are placed before 2pm to remain competitive.

JB HiFi is going out at the lowest price in New Zealand and Australia, with the standard edition on offer for AUD$89 NZD$108 on PS3 and 360, or AUD$78 or NZD$88 on PC.

Dead Island has been receiving generally favourable reviews, with the higher scores tending to favour the PC version.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
