PlayStation Home Playing Host To More Creeps
PlayStation Home's Central Plaza area will soon be host to brain-dead automatons, in what may or may not be a break from the usual. Deep Silver and Sony are teaming up in a special takeover event, which will transform the area into a Dead Island-themed tropical resort. Players will be able to check out 10 new minigame challenges, and those who complete 'em all will get access to an exclusive in-game item: exploding meat.
The challenges encourage co-op play between up to four players, who will have to build items and stave off zombie attacks. The zombies are relentless and awful, giving visitors a glimpse of what it's typically like to be a female user of the Home platform.
In addition to earning the exploding meat, players can also score an exploding zombie outfit if they preorder the game from a special Dead Island kiosk within Home.
Look for Dead Island on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC on September 6.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
