Zombies have been used as game fodder (besides your staple Aliens and Nazis obviously) for as long as I can remember. Sure, they’re dangerous and eat brains for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but they’re as dumb as doorknobs and move slower than your grand mum, making them perfect game fodder. Last year, developer Aspyr Media went in a totally new direction by putting players into the rotting boots of a Stubbs, the zombie in Rebel without a Pulse that had you taking on the town of Punchbowl for a change.
Capcom, on the other hand don’t feel like taking chances and have stuck to keeping zombies as game fodder and that’s exactly what they’ve done with Dead Rising; a game that has you take on a mall full of zombies, armed with nothing but your camera, and the entire mall.
ITS $@%#$%@ AWESOME!!!
