Dead Rising was one of the most fun and innovative titles of this generation. The premise, for those of you who have never heard of it, and I pity immensely, was this: Mall full of thousands upon thousands of zombies. 3 days. Do whatever the smurf you want. Go. And oh, it was glorious.

Now the sequel is coming out. Same thing, only instead of in a mall, it's set in a Vegas style town. Big two differences:

- Co-Op and Multiplayer (smurf yeah)
- Combine objects to get new weapons. For example, what would happen if you taped chainsaws to a canoe paddle?

(SPOILER)
pure, unadulterated glory is what!

Here are a few more if you're curious.

It is out next month for 360, PS3 and PC and I cannot smurfing wait.

Case Zero is a kind of half demo, half DLC dealie, and it is out tomorrow (31st August) on XBLA for 400 points, and I sure as smurf am getting it. It's a seperate episode to DR2 that takes place between the two games, and progress (such as weapons, outfits and up to 5 levels) carries on over to the main game if you buy it.

some DR2 screens. My favourite is the second to last one!

I think this thread is literally going to be just me and Huxley gushing about the sick things we've done to zombies, but I really don't care. Your loss
