QOTW: Which Video Game Developer is on the Cutting Edge?

QOTW: Which Video Game Developer is on the Cutting Edge?  back future video game developers1 1024x626This week we look within our tiny brains and think about the different game developers out there and which ones stand out from the pack.  Of course this type of question may lead to a bias in the answer specifically if you prefer one genre of gaming over another, as most of us do.  But non the less, here is our QOTW: Which video game developer is on the cutting edge?

Kyle:  For me, the cutting edge of video games has always belonged to Bioware.
I know that in recent years they have been weak… really weak, but it still doesn’t take away the fact that they make games like no-one else can.
In the Knights of the Old Republic days they couldn’t put a foot wrong and were exceptional, they returned to that with Mass Effect 1. It has gone downhill since then, but still.

Dead Island Brings fun to the Zombie Killing Genre

Dead Island Brings fun to the Zombie Killing Genre dead island zombiesDead Island has been out for a while and possibly many of you reading this have already played it.  I picked it up during Steam’s Christmas sale and am damn glad I did.  LFD was easily my favorite zombie killing game of all time (LFD & LFD2) but Dead Island ranks right up there.  There are many hours of fun to be had with Dead Island, here’s what I love about this island that is dead.

It feels open.  You can drive a car around the island, head inland and face those crazy ass zombies in strait jackets or quick travel back out to the coast and check out the wreckage of a downed plane.  There is so much to do and it really never gets old.  And the world that is Dead Island feels huge, as in there is tons of stuff to do.
