This month's PS Plus lineup is looking to be pretty gold - PS Plus subscribers will be able to get their hands on Bioshock Infinite and Metro 2033, despite both games only being released around a year ago.

Unfortunately, I can't really say the same for the Xbox Live Games for Gold promotion - you won't be able to grab yourself a free copy of Bioshock Infinity or Metro 2033, but if you do have an Xbox 360, and you also have Xbox Live, you'll be able to pick up Dead Island 3 for free this month, so you've got that going for you, which is nice.

Dead Island was a very enjoyable game, and if Left 4 Dead were to take more of an RPG turn, then perhaps Dead Island would be the result. If you haven't yet played through the Dead Island series, and you're a fan for Co-op games like Left 4 Dead, but also love the open nature of FPS rpg games, then definitely check out Dead Island this month.

There is also a Dead Island 2 out, which could probably be picked up pretty cheap

It looks like the developers of the Dead Island series aren't quite done with Zombie games just yet. A new gameplay video shows Dying Light, the new zombie title under development by Techland running smoothly at 1080P on the PlayStation 4.

The video was shown at the VGX Awards and focuses on three main pillars of the core game experience; melee combat, parkour and zombie damage.

The idea behind the game is to refresh the now worn out zombie survival genre by adding parkour elements into the game. At first I was a little curious about how Techland plan to pull this off successfully, but I was quite surprised at how smooth the gameplay experience went from parkour to zombie slashing action.

Along with the parkour mechanics, Techland have introduced a bunch of parkour-like combat actions that allow you to improvise with the environment and use hand-to-hand techniques to take on

New Dead Island: Riptide Info

Although most information about the sequel to the successful open-world zombie game, Dead Island, has been hushed up, Deep Silver has started to give us a little more to get excited about for Dead Island: Riptide.

As well as the four heroes from the first game, Riptide will welcome a new playable character who goes by the name of John Morgan. John has become a master in hand-to-hand combat through self-training, and although he planned for a great career in the US Navy, he ended up as a military ship cook instead, so his cooking is pretty damn good as well.

The military ship will navigate to the island

Free Microsoft Points

Unless you're fortunate enough to be a professional gamer, making money from your gaming hobby isn't exactly easy. However, along with Microsoft's new Xbox reward system, Halo 4 players will be rewarded for doing what they do best; playing Halo 4.

This month, Microsoft will be giving out free Microsoft points to whoever plays Halo 4 and completes the challenges set out to the players. A new announcement by Microsoft has told us that there are a total of 800 Microsoft Points up for grabs, which is around $10.00 worth.

600 of the Microsoft Points will be awarded for playing for different periods of

Dead Island Riptide, a direct sequel to Techland's hit zombie survival game Dead Island, was announced by publisher Deep Silver quite some time ago at this year's E3. Since that initial reveal there was nothing else mentioned in the coming months except that it would cost $50.

But now it seems that Deep Silver is ready to slowly reveal some of the details surrounding the game. Just a few days ago Deep Silver released a press release that gave a bit of the story of the next iteration. The following is an excerpt from the press release:

"Having survived the ordeals of the zombie infestation on the once beautiful island resort of Banoi, our group of survivors thought they had finally found a safe place to escape from this terrifying nightmare, [but] they were wrong. Shortly after the battle-hardened team had landed their helicopter on a military ship, a furious storm hits and havoc quickly spreads on board. Suddenly they find themselves struggling for their lives again with all

Developers Techland have had a good collection of games in their portfolio but one of their recent ones, Dead Island, seems to be their crowning glory. The reveal trailer for the game which was gory, emotional and artsy at the same time really got the attention of gamers. Even though Dead Island was not a perfect creation, this zombie killing RPG with beautifully scary environments and online co-op traits was both insanely fun and addictive.

Since the release of Dead Island Techland seems to be keeping quite busy. Only recently they announced the release of a direct sequel to Dead Island, called Dead Island Riptide. The game is in pre-alpha mode and according to inside sources it already looks MUCH better than the predecessor! As you know pre-alpha mode normally looks really horrible so this is a very promising bit of detail.

But we are not here to

Intense Game Trailer

A while back I saw a trailer for a game while I was surfing the internet. My computer or internet connection was acting up so I only got to watch about 20-25 seconds of a three minute long video. Well, finally I remembered to go back and look up the game trailer again the other day. To say the least, I was blown away. The trailer was for a game called Dead Island, set to release September 6, 2011.
