If you were anxious to play Dead Island at launch and bought your copy on Steam for the PC than you may have noticed some rather odd problems. It appears that the game that was sent to Steam was a developer build and not the finished version of the game. Thankfully the developer has responded to Kotaku about the situation and promise to patch it:

“We deeply regret that an incorrect version of Dead Island was inadvertently made available to players on Steam launch in North America. We are very sorry for any issues you may have experienced while playing the game — the correct, patched version will be made available to North American players ASAP.”

Just to see how whacked out it is check out the video below. It actually looks quite beautiful being able to see the whole island this way:

I have heard nothing but good things regarding Jen and Sylvia Soska’s indie film, Dead Hooker In A Trunk. I’m no fan of Eli Roth but he has been spreading good word about the film for some time now, so fair play to him.

According to DreadCentral, Dead Hooker In A Trunk will hit limited U.S. and Canadian theatres and VOD simultaneously on August 3rd. For more information check out their official website.

Synopsis: “Dead Hooker in a Trunk, set in beautiful Vancouver, tells the story of four friends who set out on an everyday errand and end up in a fight for their lives when they discover the body of a dead hooker left in their trunk.

Lead by a sexy, impulsive Badass, her distant Geek twin sister, their bible thumping, Jesus-loving Goody Two Shoes friend, and a chaotic, rock star junkie pal, the group has to put aside their differences to dispose of the body before they’re next. Thrown into their own personal purgatory, they face off against persistent police, a sleazy motel manager, chainsaw-wielding triads, and a brutal serial killer. All the while they are followed by a mysterious Cowboy Pimp who wants to claim the corpse for his own.

Will they uncover the truth behind the body and be able to stand up to their demons? Buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life filled with gunfights, extreme violence, blood, guts, gore, and goats.”

Premise:

Some things won’t stay down…even after they die.

On a quiet street, in a small town, pure evil has come to stay. Lionel, an innocent young man, is forced to care for domineering mother and finds the task a whole lot more demanding after she’s bitten by the cursed Sumatran rat monkey. Passing the point of death, Lionel’s mother sucks friends and family into her gruesome existence among the living dead and Lionel is sent spiraling into a ghoulish nightmare.

I need a blu-ray player, these titles are just pouring out recently and now we have Peter Jackson’s gore-fest Dead Alive (Braindead). I remember the first time I witnessed this one, I could not stop laughing, it is genius and the gore, oh my, the gore is epic.

According to DVD Active, the title is set to be released this October 4th. I assuming, since the film was released in 1991/2 this will be a 20th Anniversary edition. So far there is no special features or box art, but stay tuned.

Synopsis: “On a quiet street, in a small town, pure evil has come to stay. Lionel, an innocent young man, is forced to care for domineering mother and finds the task a whole lot more demanding after she’s bitten by the cursed Sumatran rat monkey.

You will most likely recall that last week a rather slick teaser trailer for the second season of Walking Dead hit the web and caused quite the buzz. The trailer is below in case you missed it.

Directly after it hit the web however the producer of the show Gale Anne Hurd and Robert Kirkman both took  to twitter to say its a great trailer but its fan made and is not a legitimate trailer. We of course quickly filed it under awesome but fake.

Since posting the trailer however I have had multiple readers comment back to me with comments ranging from ‘its real you moron’ to more diplomatic ‘this isnt fake at all’. The trailer I am told by multiple readers from the UK appeared during the premiere of Falling Skies. The channel it aired on was FX UK which has the exclusive rights to the series.

So it seems this trailer is legit so why are the producer and Kirkman saying its fake?

This is awesome, if your a collector of horror memorabilia or just a fan of The Evil Dead films then you will want a piece of this. According to DreadCentral, NECA has announced they have acquired the rights to create exclusive Evil Dead figures.

NECA have always done fantastic work and recently with their A Nightmare on Elm Street figures they have blown me away, so to say I’m excited is a bit of an understatement.

The guys over at NECA are said to reveal their first ash from Evil Dead II at this years San Diego Comic-Con. There are so many awesome demons in the Evil Dead so it’s exciting to see what the future holds.

Now, where’s that new Evil Dead movie at?

I thought Dead Rising 2 was good, but what I really wanted was Frank West and his trusty camera but I didn’t get that so I felt a little disappointed. Don’t get me wrong the game was good it was just that little nit pick for me.

Well if your like me then you will love the fact that in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record it plays out like a re-imagining . This time the Fortune City returns but this time we get to play as Frank West.

I’m a fan of Yudai Yamaguchi’s ”Battlefield Baseball,” so hopfully, DEAD BALL will be able to entertain just as well.

Synopsis: “When he was a child, baseball prodigy Jubei Yakyu (Tak Sakaguchi) accidentally caused the death of his father with a super-powered, deadly fireball pitch. Having sworn off the game for life because of the incident, Jubei is now 17 and the most cold-blooded juvenile delinquent in Japan. Sent to a reformatory for a killing spree, Jubei learns that his estranged brother had died there earlier from a mysterious illness.

In order to fulfill his brother’s last wishes, Jubei reluctantly joins the prison baseball team when they take on the Black Dahlias, a sexy squad of killer high school girls who are determined to slaughter every last man on Jubei’s team! But the prison officials have plans of their own for Jubei, including an alliance with a squadron of uniformed Nazi officers! Suddenly, Jubei finds himself not only fighting to win the game, but also to save his own life!”
