Dead Rising

I went to this big mall here in D.C. the other day and picked up a copy of Dead Rising. I've haven't been playing for that long but here are my first impressions. This game is awesomely violent and full of gore. I wasn't really surprised since you play as a freelance photojournalist stuck in a mall for 72 hours fighting off zombies with anything you can find. It's not to be played in close proximity to your grandmother and it's definitely not for kids.

The sheer number of zombies on the screen at any giving time is staggering. The Xbox 360 processes dozens of bloodthirsty undead along with smooth environmental textures and lighting. The graphics are realistic but have an excellent style to them. The sound also contributes a lot to the overall mood the game. You’ll hear a clever mix of silence, moans, and zombie footfall.
