Hands on with "Dead Island"

What did it for me was upgrading the living crap out of my barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat. Javelining my electro-charged machete at a zombie's skull, thereby separating it from its rotting trunk won me over, too.I'm a huge fan of not using guns in games when I have other means of killing, and in this respect Dead Island didn't disappoint. There are firearms here, but they definitely take a backseat to the improvisational arsenal.
