This week, we get two previously-released games, although, this time we’re treated to some special features and snazzy additions in the form of a “Game of the Year” edition for Dead Island, as well as the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection heading to PS Vita.<\/p>\n

Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition (PC, 360, PS3)<\/h3>\n

The opinions on Dead Island differ quite a lot. As Alex Hempel said in his MyGaming Dead Island review<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Dead Island is a solid, but not outstanding game. The whole \u2018zompocalypse\u2019 sandbox concept is very appealing, as is the combat and weapons model.On the upside there are the large environment, character progression and the sheer variety of weapons.This is contrasted by the technical issues, the repetitive combat and a general lack of credible physics. Hardcore gamers will lament the overall lack of real challenges; casual players will probably love the fact that the game is rather unpunishing.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Regardless of the divided opinion, Dead Island gets a Game of the Year Edition this week and will pack in all of the game’s available DLC, including the Bloodbath Arena DLC, the Ryder White expansion, and the Ripper weapon.<\/p>\n
