'Dead Island': Preview

http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/news/a332576/dead-island-preview.html

As a game a few dozen hours in length, there are also a bunch of other elements that were barely touched upon, especially in combat. For one, there's a Rage mode that gives you powerful weapons such as Uzis or a samurai sword dependant on your character, and although it lasts for a limited period, is something that can help out in a spot of bother. Experience from missions and killing zombies helps you unlock new abilities through skill trees, while workbenches allow you to use spare components to create powerful weapon upgrades. There are even more powerful enemy types to square against - such as a beefed-up, towering zombie that'll send you flying with a single punch - that'll keep you on your toes.
