The arrival of Capcom’s Dead Rising around the Xbox 360 launch was received with mixed reactions. Dead Rising was and still a masterpiece but .. Capcom developers had created the game in HD with its smooth graphics and text it was a complete pleasure to play. BUT… not for everyone back then HD TV’s with 1080p were not all in as they are now. And many people still had their analog tvs which were lucky to get 480p IF that. And with that major problem Dead Rising was playable but the dialog went straight out the window. People that enjoyed reading the plot and story line and even missions status’s on what to do’s were completly left in the dark the text was way too small and blury to read.
For the rest of us Dead Rising was playable and an absolute pleasure.. killing zombies in a mall in 780p HD was out of this world. It wasn’t easy but it was well worth all the hard work in the end .. but it didnt end there .. the story hard to continue. And now finally after a very very long wait
DEAD RISING 2 is soon upon us. And we have a new hero … we dont know where Frank dissapeared to after the ending of Dead Rising. But not to worry we have a new Zombie bad ass by the name of Chuck Greene. And let me tell you Chuck looks like he doesnt take any crap from anyone especially mindless zombies.
A change of location is always a nice thing. Gone is the Shopping Centre/Mall and HELLO Vegas style sin city. The perfect place to get up to as much michief as possible. As they say what happens in Vegas .. Stays in Vegas.. and even though it actually doesnt say Vegas. I think the stuff that Chuck is gonne get up to its best left here without anyone knowing. The amount of Zombies on screen have been multiplied, the gameplay looks smoother, the actions looks faster, and the zombies look hungrier.
Who knows what story path Dead Rising is gonna take, will Chuck meet up with Frank and end this widespread invasion of the virus .. or will all go to shit. Ahhh who knows .. At least he can always try out the 24 hour All you can eat BUFFET !! They might be serving up BRAINS !!!! 😉
Check out the movie preview below and also the official webstie as well.
Who is he ?? what’s he do ?? or should I say what’s it do ??

Shadow Complex made a big noise at this years E3 with Epic games’ Cliff Bleszinski coming out to talk about the game. Since then everyone I have spoken to is very keen to get their hands on it. Shadow Complex is a side scrolling BAD ASS Shooter by EPIC Games and CHAIR (The makers of Undertow)
The game will be released on Xbox Live Arcade on the 19th of August. It will feature a side scrolling style gameplay with fast paced action. Some sections of the game will have you controlling turrets which will switch the view to a 3rd person behind the character view which will change the gameplay style.
The in game cut scenes look fantastic for an XBLA title. Epic and Chair have done quite a remarkable job. I for one am looking forward to getting my hands on this game.
I dont know if you remember the old style side scrollers like Gryzor, The Contra Series, and Midnight Resistance. They were outstanding games, I for one played Contra and Gryzor till my thumbs bled on my Super Nintendo and Nintendo entertainment systems. And it looks like Shadow Complex is taking a step in that direction and hopefully leaping into the future and making its mark in the side scrolling shooter genre.

It’s the last stop. The final destination. The BIG SHOW. It’s where dreams born in backyards are finally realized. Where the fences are FARTHER. The grandstands are LARGER. And the spotlight is BRIGHTER. It’s where thieves run FASTER, pitchers throw HARDER and the sluggers go DEEPER. Where the bats are BIGGER, the spikes are SHARPER and the comebacks are harder to swallow. It’s where home runs are RUTHIAN and fastballs CATCH FIRE. It’s where a monster lurks in left. Where bombers terrorize the night. And where the confines aren’t always so friendly. It’s THE BIGS. And everything about them just got BIGGER.
