There’s a severe lack of zombie games in this world. Not survival horror, I mean honest-to-god ZOMBIES. Portrayed the way Jesus made them, slow, lumbering and hungry for flesh and/or tofu. Dead Rising is a deep game about… hell, who cares about backstory. You get to use anything and everything around you as a weapon to fight off the undead hordes. Expect a review as soon as I can get my little hands on a copy.
