Rapper Sam B. Fights The Zombie Horde
It seems that, like a relentless Zombie horde, you just can’t escape updates and screenshots regarding forthcoming Undead action/RPG Dead Island from Techland and Deep Silver. In their latest batch of images they focus on another one of the four playable characters, one-hit wonder Rapper Sam B. It seems that Sam will be a Tank class character, a power-based type which will be familiar to regular RPG gamers. The other three playable characters are Xian Mei – a Chinese, speed-based character who is a resort employee and was featured in the last screenshot update, and Logan & Purna, who as of yet have not been fully revealed.
A one-hit-wonder rap star of fading fame, Sam B was booked by the Royal Palms Resort Hotel to perform his well known song “Who do You Voodoo?” at a high profile hotel party.
