PCGMedia's Michael Cromwell reviews Riptide, having been a huge fan of Dead Island. He's disappointed with this installment, saying the new island isn't nearly as charming as the first.
"Dead Island: Riptide has taught me two things. The first thing is that I would be the most selfish survivor possible in a zombie apocalypse, since helping locals seems nothing more than an inefficient and potentially risky use of my time. The second this is that Techland don’t know the difference between more of the same, and the exact same thing. I’m looking at Steam’s £34.99 price tag, and I’m wondering what happened to Riptide being ‘priced to reflect the end of the console cycle.’ Riptide is a game that plays like its previously announced altruistic price point. For once, it seems, a game is more expensive on PC than it is on the consoles."
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."
