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.

Hands On: Take a tropical vacation where you are the finest cuisine. 411mania.com gets an exclusive look at Dead Island at E3.

The one element I don't like is the repair element of your weapons. After using your weapons a certain amount of time they fail and break down. Now I do like the stamina meter and you have to be careful about how much you dash or run as well as bash zombies, so you can't just button mash or melee the hell out of your character with your weapons. Each character you can play as has their own special skills and attributes. There are different types of zombies as well. Also after you kill your enemies you can search their bodies for items and extra cash.You will need cash to buy new weapons, upgrades, items, and weapon repairs.
