Another week, another “remaster” is leading the charge of new releases. This time it is a two-pack from Deep Silver with the Dead Island: Definitive Collection. The package features both the original Dead Island and the stand-alone expansion, Dead Island: Riptide.

Both games were well reviewed, including our own reviews which were linked above. You can expect the usual “remastered” features including a solid, 1080P framerate and the inclusion of all DLC that was released for the game. While you can pick the game up both digitally and in retail stores, it is worth noting that the retail version includes an additional bonus: Dead Island Retro Revenge. This is a classic-style, sidescrolling brawler set in the Dead Island universe and one that fans of retro games will likely enjoy.

This week also features a bit of a “surprise” release with Dangerous Golf. I have been keeping an eye on this one since it was announced and had no clue that it was going to be available this soon. From the minds of some of the people who created Burnout, this digital release will mix Burnout’s classic crash mode with golf, but set in places like expensive mansions and gas stations. Yes, you’re playing golf inside a mansion and trying to create as much havoc and destruction as possible! It looks and sounds absolutely insane, but also like a ton of fun.
