Dead Island is set in the fictional island of Banoi, located off the coast of Papua New Guinea. The main characters wake up in the Palms Resort hotel to find the island attacked by zombies and mysteriously, they are immune to whatever is making people into zombies. As they try to find and help other survivors, they must also find a way to escape the island as well.
Dead Island is a corny, tongue in cheek title which looks quite impressive. It isn't the most intensive engine however and runs well on most modern hardware, even in the lower sector.
