Having survived the ordeals of the zombie infestation on the once beautiful island resort of Banoi, our group of survivors thought they had finally found a safe place to escape from this terrifying nightmare. But they were wrong.

Shortly after the battle-hardened team had landed their helicopter on a military ship, a furious storm hits and havoc quickly spreads on board. Suddenly they find themselves struggling for their lives again with all hope drowning in the rising waves.

With invigorating new elements infused into a proven mix, Dead Island Riptide will reanimate the zombie terror in the original game. A monsoon has hit the once beautiful archipelago and heavy rainstorms have laid waste to large areas of the islands. The city of Henderson and jungle areas on the island of Palanai were flooded leaving boats as the only remaining way of transportation. Dynamic weather conditions will force the team members to adapt to changing visibility conditions.

A fifth character will join the team, with an all-new and unique skillset. The combined skills of the group will be sorely needed, since terrible, new and unknown zombie mutations have emerged all over the island.

In a new hub defense missions the coop teamplay skills of the survivors will be tested to the limit – they need to strategically place traps, fences and turrets to fend off oncoming Zombie onslaughts and to protect the humans in these sanctuaries.

New communication features in coop mode also allow players to enjoy an even more intense and strategic teamplay experience.

$6.23 million in pledges collected from Kickstarter and Roberts Space Industries sites; Roberts thanks supporters and promises a space sim that will breathe new life into PC gaming.


Star Citizen, the highly anticipated space sim from legendary game developer, Chris Roberts, today set a new record for a crowd funded game as pledge totals reached $6.23 million and the game’s Kickstarter campaign came to a close. Star Citizen is currently under development by Roberts’ new game company, Cloud Imperium, which has offices in Los Angeles; Austin, Texas and Montreal, Canada. An early alpha play test for backers of the project should be available next winter.

The previous crowd funding record for a game had been held by Obsidian Entertainment’s Project Eternity title. An October 17 posting on the Project Eternity Kickstarter website listed a total of $4.16 million in pledges and funds raised.

Today marked the end of the Star Citizen’s Kickstarter campaign, which reached $2.13 million in pledges, more than 400 percent of the original goal. Roberts also has been raising funds on his own site, www.robertsspaceindustries.com. That site has reached $4.1 million in pledges. In all there are nearly 90 thousand people who have signed on and pledged to back the product.

Here are updated stats from the Star Citizen crowd funding campaign as of 1 PM central time on November 19:

· Kickstarter backers– 34,397
· Kickstarter funds pledged - $2,134,374
· Roberts Space Industries backers – 55,270
· Roberts Space Industries funds raised - $4,104,189
· Total backers – 89,667
· Total funds raised and pledged - $6,238,563

“I am absolutely elated by the incredible outpouring of support for this project,” said Roberts. “It’s clear that space sim fans have just been waiting for a game like ours to come along and rekindle some of the excitement that’s been missing from PC games and the space sim genre. With the resources that our fans have provided, it means the team will be able to provide more features in Star Citizen and deliver an even better game.”

For Roberts, Star Citizen, signals his return to gaming after more than 10 years in the Hollywood film industry. He made his mark in the games industry with several hit franchises in the 1990s including Wing Commander, Privateer and Freelancer. All of those games were successful PC titles that continually broke new ground with space combat games. That’s something Roberts says is currently missing from PC gamers’ plates.

Going forward, Roberts says, people who backed the project during the crowd funding campaign will have the ability to purchase further tiers or upgrade existing ones at the initial prices. And for those who missed this opportunity, there is still a chance to be a part of the Star Citizen community and back the project but at slightly higher prices. Roberts says it will still be cheaper than purchasing the final product when it is released and it will enable backers to reserve a limited amount of alpha and beta slots that remain. Behind-the-scenes subscription updates during development are also available for purchase. They will provide even more extras and inside info for those who sign up.

To register and become a backer of the game and for more information about Star Citizen, including videos and trailers of the game, regular communications from Roberts to fans, community forums and game fiction go to www.robertsspaceindustries.com.

Announcing two new mobile titles —Skylanders Lost Islands available now for download exclusively on the App Store and Skylanders Battlegrounds now available as a physical starter pack at retail, and will be available digitally as a standalone iOS App tomorrow, November 21.


Skylanders Battlegrounds notches another first for the franchise by bringing its signature blend of physical and virtual play from the console experience to mobile devices. The Skylanders Battlegrounds Starter Pack includes a special wireless Bluetooth Portal of Power that brings your figures to life on iOS, and three characters: Jet Vac, Series 2 Cynder and Double Trouble, and a Platinum Treasure Chest stocked with digital items for use in Skylanders Battlegrounds.


Skylanders Battlegrounds features:

An entirely new Action RPG experience designed from the ground up for mobile devices, featuring innovative team-up gameplay in which the player controls two Skylanders at the same time.

Episodic content, starting with twenty levels and two mega bosses upon initial release. Additional levels and bosses will be delivered through app updates for free.
Gamers who purchase the Skylanders Battlegrounds Starter Pack get to use the included platinum treasure chest that automatically unlocks loads of in-game loot including a coin and XP multiplier, health potions, bombs, and much more.
The complete Skylanders Battlegrounds Starter Pack is available at retail for $49.99, and includes a redemption code to download the game from the App Store. The standalone app is available on November 21 in the App Store on iOS devices directly for $6.99; no peripherals or figures are required to play. However, the Bluetooth Portal of Power included in the Skylanders Battlegrounds Starter Pack will work with all of the available digital apps, letting players use their favorite Skylanders Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders GiantsTM figures with Skylanders Battlegrounds, as well as Skylanders Lost Islands and the updated Skylanders Cloud Patrol.

Skylanders Lost Islands, an innovative character and resource management game, gives Portal Masters a chance to rebuild and customize their own slice of the Skylands. Players can play with their Skylanders by sending them off on quests and adventures, using them to ward off evil trolls, and chase away pesky sheep all while helping the peaceful Mabu rebuild their homeland in the sky.

Meanwhile, Skylanders Cloud Patrol continues to build momentum as a top casual title on iOS, with a massive new update that introduces an all-new social multiplayer Daily Showdowns mode. Challenge your friends to a Showdown, send them taunts via push notifications and beat them to earn in-game currency. Don't worry if you lose, every day there's a new Showdown. This is all possible with the debut of ACTIVATE - Activision's new mobile gaming platform that delivers extended online features and services to mobile gamers, including cloud storage of user's toy collection and save games across iOS devices. And even bigger enhancements are on tap for the game. Later this year, the Skylanders Giants characters will be joining the Skylanders Cloud Patrol.

The console video game takes the source material from the Family Guy series, including its hilarious sense of humor and outrageous spirit, to offer fans an unforgettable, interactive third-person action experience.

Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse introduces an all-new original story written and voiced by Family Guy talent and influenced by the famous Family Guy season eight episode, "Road to the Multiverse", where Stewie and Brian travel on an out-of-this-world journey through Quahog's bizarre parallel universes. Gamers will travel through all-new settings on a mission to save Quahog and stop the destructive schemes of Bertram, Stewie's nemesis. Playing as either Stewie or Brian, each equipped with unique special weapons and abilities, gamers will encounter an array of Family Guy characters, references and gut-busting jokes. Additionally, fans can share this hilarious experience and invite friends and family to jump into the wild Family Guy world through drop-in/drop-out co-op multiplayer mode and competitive multiplayer challenges.












Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is now available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for a suggested retail price of $59.99, and is rated M (Mature) by the ESRB.
