OXM UK: "We don't buy into the game as a killer co-op experience, as there's very little beneficial interaction between characters. What you're feeling isn't the buzz of great game design, but the relief of having a friend to break the monotony of island life. It's so much easier to forgive glitches, outdated visuals and flick-book framerate when you've got a friend laughing at them too, but this doesn't mean we should forgive them. Should Riptide wash up on your shore, you'd best throw in back in."

Carlos writes "We’re back once more to take a look back into the history of Xbox to unearth games that released many years ago, allowing us to celebrate their anniversary. This time around the game we’re looking at is Dead Island: Riptide."

Utomik - the “unlimited play” monthly subscription gaming service - expands its games library with several games from publisher Deep Silver, including Dead Island Riptide and Metro 2033 Redux with many more.

Microsoft is ending June with a bang, a lot of games are going on sale this week. But only if you have an active Xbox Live Gold membership.
