GamingAllTheTime.com staff writer Josh "Red Menace" S. gives his thoughts on the Zombie phenomena in time for Halloween:
"Unfortunately for me, all I do is criticize people and everything they love. I don’t actually want pity for that since I enjoy what I do, but due to my lack of friends and general social relationships, I won’t be dressing up, partying, trick-or-treating or even allowing children to steal my candy by scaring me at the front door of my own home (I ate all the candy in my house in preparation) for Halloween this year. So, I guess other than having my Xbox Live avatar dressed up like the King of Albion, consider this my only way of celebrating Halloween:
I’m sick of zombies! I’m done with them. Don’t touch me with zombie media, don’t talk to me about the Zombie Walk, don’t tell me to play Dead Rising 2, and for the love of God, someone invent a V-chip that censors everything with the word “zombie” in it...."
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.
Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...
They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.
This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.
