Rise of Nightmares - Zombie Fight!!!

Punch, kick, it's all in the mind! Or...with your hands and feet in Rise of Nightmares, the Survival Horror melee-fest for Kinect from Sega.

Rise of Nightmares.

Check out this over the shoulder sneak peek from E3.

The Rise of Nightmares Stance
What at first seem slightly awkward controls soon become natural and, before you know it, you're sucked into a nightmare realist that will see you slashing, bashing, kicking and smashing your way through the hordes of beasties that await.

And, it's not just your hands and feet you get to use. Whilst it looks at first to be on rails, a subtle twist of the shoulders and the camera tilts, put one foot in front of the other and you stride forward, put your foot out more, you speed up. Not as refined, but this works more like a first person shooter.

Tooling up
The E3 demo allowed players access to a small sampling of the weapons available including: explosive vials, brass knuckles, tongs and a chainsaw.

We're certainly looking forward to seeing a little more in-depth game play from this truly unique offering. And to finding out if the opponents are pretty much mostly zombies, and seeing as most of the characters look like they've been pilfered from Sega's highly successful House of The Dead series, we're hopeful.

Dead Island - GamePlay Footage

After a number of 'gameplay' videos with little or no gameplay here is a fabulously in-depth look into Silver's eagerly anticipated first person shooter scheduled for release later this year - and this time there really is gameplay footage.

You'll take someone's eye out with that!

Dead Island is almost guaranteed to be a hit with players of franchises such as: Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising and Call of Duty: Zombies.

We'll certainly be playing it. In fact, we'll probably be calling in sick to play through the four player co-op as soon as it is released.

Batter up!
