Dead Island Riptide Preview

Back at E3 2012, the publishers of Deep Silver announced Dead Island Riptide, a sequel to Techland's 2011 masterpiece Dead Island. And that's pretty much all the companies let on to, but earlier today we final got to see what Riptide looked like.

"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." read the Dead Island Riptide press release.

Where do our survivors end up? By the look of things we'll be exploring a zombie infested island or set of island. " 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," the release stated. 

Apart from new locations, Dead Island Riptide adds a fifth character with an " all-new and unique skillset." We will also see new zombie mutations, dynamic weather condition, co-op communication features, and "hub defense missions" the survivors will "need to strategically place traps, fences and turrents to fend off oncoming zombie onslaughts and to protect the humans in these sanctuaries."  

Dead Island Riptide is set to come out in 2013 on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 though no date is offical yet.

Skyrim Hearthfire Preview

In the last downloadable content for Skyrim's Dawnguard we found ourselves hunting down vampires so it was good for Bethesda to give us all a break in the next downloadable content called Hearthfire. Within Hearthfire you'll be able to purchase a piece of land in Skyrim and build your very own house.

You'll by able to purchase land after obtaining a deed, by using a crafting tables and work benches you'll be able to use raw material to build rooms such as alchemy labs, enchanter tower greenhouses, kitchens, libraries and trophy rooms. By using the interior work bench you can furnish your rooms and craft items such as display cases to showcase your treasures.

Outside the house you can create gardens, fish hatcheries and bee hives making resource collection a bit more convenient. You can hire stewards to help out with the household tasks, they also offer transportation options to towns.

Once your house is set up you'll be able to move your spouse in and adopt children allowing you to raise them up, but living off the land isn't that easy as you will often find yourself stopping Skeever infestations and defending your property from raging giants.

Bethesda plan to release Hearthfire on September 4 on Xbox Live for 400 Microsoft Points. Check out the full trailer now.
