I know it had its detractors, but I was–am–a humongous fan of Capcom’s original zombie-multitude-murder epic.  The save system was a bastard and led to a couple of frustrating restarts, but the story, gameplay and humor of Dead Rising were all winners in my book.

With the sequel on the horizon, set in a new venue primed for more quirky weapon usage, starring a new dude who’s obviously knows his way around chainsaws, I breathlessly await the opportunity to continue my undead slaying adventures.

Does the Dead Rising franchise float your boat as much as mine?
