Dead Rising (360)
OK, so you’re a photojournalist, right? And there’s been a town completely cordoned off by the military. With me so far? Right, so you decide that you’re going to fly into the town in a helicopter, get dropped off on the roof of a shopping center, and arrange to be picked up 72 hours later without knowing WHY the place has been cordoned off. So, we’ve established that in this game you play a THICK photojournalist.
As it happens, the town has been overrun by flesheating zombies. Hmmm. Zombies, shopping mall, this is all sounding horribly familiar. Anyway, you can take photos (and WIN POINTS!!!!11!one!), beat zombies with big sticks, shoot them, stab them, etc etc. You can also rescue people. I’m not entirely sure what the point of the game is, just yet, but I’m sure it’ll all become clear when I’ve played it for more than an hour.
