Same thing is chronological order:

Looks fantastic, very fitting since I just finished World War Z. I wonder what the storyline is? The dad is obviously a zombie now and the mom was being overrun. Who knows?

A little more (Wikipedia) digging:

Dead Island will feature open world gameplay, played from a first person perspective, with up to four-player co-operative play. The focus will be on melee combat, incorporating customizable weaponry and RPG elements. The game is set in the Royal Palms Resort, in fictional Banoi, located in Papua New Guinea.

The names of four characters in Dead Island are Xian Mei (a staff member at the hotel), Logan, Sam B and Purna. All the characters have the "Category" Hero.

So basically a co-op survival/zombie version of Heavy Rain? I'm diggin' it!

Looks amazing. I'm not really a fan of zombie games, but I'll have to check this out at some point.

Sign me up for that game.
Please tell me that it will be available on the 360, and that it isn't a PS3 exclusive.
