10 Videogame Holiday Destinations You Should Avoid

6. Banoi - Dead Island

Now this is paradise. An idyllic tropical island just off the coast of Papa New Guinea, Banoi is home to a huge hotel resort covering almost the entire island. With plenty to see and do, from hiking to watersports to getting drunk and making a fool of yourself at pool parties, you€™re unlikely to get bored here. There is one slight problem though. Much of the population have fallen victim to a rapid, contagious infection that turns holiday-makers into zombie-like creatures, while small pockets of survivors take shelter around the island awaiting help. Now, if you€™re lucky enough to survive the flesh-eating hoard in snazzy shorts, you would expect your main priority would be signalling help from the outside world. Guess again. Instead you€™ll be treated like the camp errand boy while others cower in the corner licking their wounds, scared to venture outside. Could you go and see if some woman€™s husband is okay...at their villa...on the other side of the island? Can you go and find an able-bodied, uninjured man some food because he€™s too lazy to do it himself? Bugger right off. And don€™t go expecting you€™ll be supplied with a gun or anything too useful. Oh no, you€™ll have to fashion your own makeshift weapons from bits of old wood - weapons that are more than ineffective, weapons that€™ll break after a couple of swings around the head of a zombie. Well, isn€™t this great. Paradise can sod off.
