Hot off the press from my fabulous Deep Silver contact, we have the first bit of information on the storyline and gameplay elements of Dead Island: Riptide.  Our same four familiar faces play the main roles, with a fifth character, complete with a new skillset different than the others, joining the fray as well.  The storyline is somewhat perfect for the horror-genre that this game comfortably rests within, in that the ending of the last game, where the characters start to finally feel safe, is just the beginning of an all-new nightmare.  Continue after the jump for the full-on text

At the first ever GameStop Expo in San Antonio, Texas this year, CEO Paul Raines revealed some interesting details in an interview with Polygon. The possible expansion into vintage games. It’s not official yet, but it’s an excellent business decision if GameStop does in fact decide to open up a vintage online store.
