The Horrors Have Only Just Begun In This New ‘Dead Island Riptide’ Trailer
I’m not expecting anything revolutionary with the upcoming pseudo-sequel Dead Island Riptide — all I need is an electrified machete, a horde of zombies, and a few friends to mow them down with. That’s not to say I don’t have high hopes for it. There are many ways Techland can improve their DLC support, so it’s not quite as abysmal as the original game’s DLC, and there are even a few pages I think they can take from Far Cry 3’s book. Check out a brand new “They thought wrong” trailer, after the jump.
Dead Island Riptide launches on April 23 for the PS3, PC and Xbox 360.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
