Amazon Offering Art Book as Dead Island Pre-order Bonus

The promise of zombie art won't ease your wait for Deep Silver's game, but it will make its ultimate release that much sweeter.

If you’ve been kicking around the idea of reserving Deep Silver’s Dead Island, you might want to put some thought into doing so at Amazon; those who pre-order with the online retailer will be rewarded with an art book.  Sadly, you can’t use the book as a melee weapon against the game’s hordes of crazed, tropical zombies.  Too bad Amazon’s legal department shot down the axe that was originally being considered as a bonus giveaway.  Dead Island will release for 360, PS3 and PC on September 6th.
