Dead Island Announcement trailer : Emotional or Exploitative?

The internet has been buzzing with the announcement trailer for Dead Island. Most of the reactions to the video are not necessarily about the game, but about the content of the video. The trailer shows the events leading up to the death of a family living on an island resort taken over by zombies. Many see the use of a young girl as the focus of the video as unnecessary and used as a cheap shot to get emotion out of the audience. Whether or not you feel this way, it is hard to deny the impact that the video has made already.

WIRED post on the trailer from a dad's perspective: http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2011/02/does-dead-island-promise-more-than-it-can-deliver/

Concept art from Elder Scrolls V


















That's right, he has a staff ,dagger, axe, AND shield. That bear better get the fuck out of here!

Bethesda has released some new concept art for Elder Scrolls V Skyrim. The more I see of Skyrim the more interested I become. I loved Oblivion, even if I never actually finished the game (but the again who actually wanted to close all the Oblivion gates when the side missions were so good?). Obviously, game play must be shown before I can froth at the mouth and prematurely call it the greatest thing ever to grace God's green Earth.

Anyone else looking forward to it?

P.S. Seriously? What kind of Rouge-Wizard needs more than 2 weapons?
