    Yes, lots of them and for varying reasons.

    Dead Island’s cinematic trailer will tug at the heart strings. Wanted to mention this since many may have missed it now that it’s aged a bit.

    Just rewatched it, still hits me. The footage at the end is what really knocks the wind out.

      Holy crap. I enjoyed Dead Island many years ago but never saw this before. It doesn’t match the tone of the game at all lol.

        Lol not at all.

        The actual game was still a fun hack’n’slah zombie blaster, but absolutely not the same mood as that trailer would lead one tp believe.

        Damn, now I want the other game that they didn’t make. The zombie tragedy tale of a family torn asunder. Multiple intertwined storylines, some tragic, some less so.

        Has anyone made a zombie game that is focused more on emotion and mood than action and horror? Last of Us kinda fits that bill but I’m not coming up with others. Dsys Gone had a good story but also heavily leaned on combat.
