[quote]The focus of the Zombie Bait Edition is a hand-painted 31cm X 18.5cm resin statue of a decapitated bikini-clad female torso. According to Deep Silver, the statue is a "grotesque take on an iconic Roman marble torso sculpture."
"We wanted to provide a unique collector’s edition that was utterly ‘Dead Island’ and would make a striking conversation piece on any discerning zombie gamer’s mantel,” said Deep Silver sales and marketing director Paul Nicholls in a statement. [/quote]

So...what are your thoughts on..this. I think this is where we draw the line for games, as anyone who would want this in their home must be mentally deficient. This of course will not at all help the new video game debates. What are your thoughts on the gruesome statue? Really it just seems there is no need at all for this.

I don't really see why people are getting their knickers in a twist over it, but I did think it was silly when I saw it
