Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition has been confirmed for release on June 26 for those of you who missed this zombie-filled RPG.

The game was first spotted via the British Board of Film Classification, and has since been confirmed by the developer. The GOTY edition includes the standard game, along with all three DLC packs that have been released.

Dead Island managed to sell three million copies worldwide, and went into drastic stock shortages worldwide upon release, despite mixed reactions from critics.

It's not the destination, but the journey you take to get there that matters.

It didn't.

GOTY means nothing these days, companies just use it to sell games.

Wasn't really overhyped, didn't really get overrated either.

W84NO1 hit the nail on the head, most disappointing *nodd*

My bad. Everything seems overhyped whenever Heller won't shut up about it.

When did I hype Dead Island? I've always said it's a pretty average game, but it is the most fun you'll have with a co-op game that was released last year.

Heller doesn't shut up about COD, does that mean he is overhyping it?

Seemed like you did, what with all the coverage you did. You didn't make it like it was best game ever but you did have a major boner for it.

He loves to hate to it. Plus, we already have Tano to hype up COD.

It really is a great co-op experience though, haven't had that much fun in ages.

Co-op can make even the shittest game more enjoyable. Wish it wasn't a dying add-on :(

What are you's on, Dead Island was a great game. The only bad thing for me was the DLC which was a Big disappointment to me.

Merchandise - Stuff for consumers you can actually purchase this time!

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
