Four years in the making: The long awaited sequels

Many gamers anxiously await the next installment for their favorite game franchises. Here are two games many people have been waiting for, and after four years, the time has finally come.

Dead Rising 2- After the platinum hit Dead Rising came out for Xbox 360 back in 2006, gamers have been waiting for a sequel. The wait is now over, because on August 31, 2010, Dead Rising 2 will be hitting the store shelves.

The character you play as this time around is motocross champion Chuck Greene. He travelled to the city to perform in the tv reality show, “Terror is Reality”; a show that dares contestants to survive in a zombie infested location for 72 hours, like in the first game. This game, however, offers a whole new way to play. You can either mow down hordes of zombies by yourself, or you and another friend can do it together. I think the co-op gameplay was a good decision by the game developers, seeing as being able to play with your friend will most likely make gamers want to play it even more.

Another cool feature in Dead Rising 2 is combining weapons to make a deadlier one. For instance:

Boxing Gloves + Bowie Knife = Claws

Gas Can + SuperSoaker = FlameThrower

…there are loads of combinations. Read more
