Howard doesn't know whether he is immune to becoming a zombie like we are, and he'll be damned if he's going to risk infection finding out. Therein lies his problem — Howard has been separated from his wife and kid. They're out there somewhere and they're alive, he can feel it. That's why he looks to us.

2011: Impressions of Dead Island (Xbox 360)
http://diehardgamefan.com/2011/06/10/e3-2011-impressions-of-dead-island-xbox-360/
Aside from the tropical setting, Dead Island sounds like it might not be all that different than any other zombie game, right? That's when things got odd. You see, Dead Island is a horror game, but it is also an Action RPG. The first thing you do is pick up a weapon, which shows the weapons stats and what level you can use it.You go outside and the zombies have little lifebars above their heads along with what level they are. When you attack them, numbers show on the screen how many hit points of damage you've dealt. After defeating the initial zombies you are then given a quest which you can choose to accept. From that point on you move along the beach as though it were almost a dungeon crawler. You get weapons which degrade over time and then break. Some are level specific, and when you defeat zombies you gain experience. When you gain experience, you can choose to level up and unlock different branches of three different skill trees.

E3 top pick: Dead Island
http://gamerlimit.com/2011/06/e3-top-pick-dead-island/
At E3, Gamer Limit spent some quality time with the title, along with representatives from Techland and Deep Silver. After about 40 minutes poring over the nooks and crannies of the fictional island of Banoi, I must say that no other game captures the elements of survival and fear quite like Dead Island.It's enough to make this my E3 top pick.

The demo started off with a cutscene showing the perspective of someone taking pills and booze.This led to a woozy drunk effect on the camera and the character acting like an asshole at a club on the Island. Then suddenly the dance floor became a little crazy ass a woman attacked another person. After that all hell breaks loose and eventually the character passes out. You wake up in a cabin with people huddled inside hiding from the zombies outside.

In Dead Island, players must complete missions on this zombie-infested tropical island without getting eaten. Firearms are scarce so you'll often have to rely on makeshift melee weapons. At one point of the trailer, a character uses a paddle.

Once you are all set up, you move out of the church safehouse and start on your quest with your group. I like the teamwork element of the gameplay. You have to work in tandem with your group to ward off zombies and complete special tasks. One such tasks is putting up bulletin posters to notify survivors to get to the church. There are various zombies all over the place in this sandbox world. The environment is highly interactive. There are tons of tools and additional weapons.
