A weekend of gaming fun!
Two of my most long awaited titles for the Xbox 360 came out on Friday 8th. Dead Rising from Capcom and Test Drive: Unlimited from Atari. I can’t even say how long I’ve been looking forward to playing these two titles. So much so, that I ended up taking a holiday on Friday just so I could play them.
In Dead Rising you play the role of a freelance photographer Frank West. Trapped in a huge mall…teeming with zombies. I literally mean thousands and thousands of the buggers. There’s no way out, the US Military have barricaded the town so Frank and a handful of survivors have to fight for their very lives until the rescue chopper arrives in 72hrs. So you’ve got to survive for 72hrs and unravel just what on earth is going on here. EVERYTHING is your weapon!
Furniture, garden tools, toys, plates, chairs, knifes and the odd firearms here and there - use anything at your disposal to wipe out the zombie hoards. Sounds good doesn’t it? It’s all too similar to Dawn of the Dead too even though the developers say that the game isn’t related.
