Dead Island looks pretty good. It has zombies and a bunch of ways to dispatch them, and the trailers we've seen for the game so far have been pretty great. It's no surprise we're getting a special edition, but there are a few reasons that make this one pretty great. First, it comes with the game's first DLC, dubbed Bloodbath Arena, that sounds a lot like the Firefight/Horde/Survival Modes in recent games, where you and a few friends have to fight waves of enemies.
