Deep Silver has released a launch trailer forDead Island, which is out next week. Featuring a souped up version of the now-famous announcement trailer music, it’s a particularly pretty little video, and it’s gotten me super pumped for some zombie slaying. Having already played over an hour of the game, I can say it’s looking set to be a very solid game. We’ll have our full review coming very soon.

What they meant to say was “Three of our songs will be available as downloadable content forGuitar Hero III,” but since the aging rockers probably have no idea what that means, figured it was an entirely new game.

Because our entertainment choices focus on games, chances are that we’d do much better with a videogame trivia title (where is this?...

Frankly, I’m surprisedanybody’sbeen suckered into that bullshit, but there you go. “The revenues we derive from that haven’t been dramatic,” EA CFO Eric Brown told Gamasutra. “I’d say they’re in the $10-$15 million range since we initiated the program.” Brown says that, while the revenue isn’t mindblowing, it’s still beneficial because the money comes from consumers who once “consumed bandwidth for free....
