Dead Rising - Case West - More Mini DLC for DR2!!

More zombie antics for you today, we do love drooling meat bags... who doesn't eh?! Well, we have had 'Dead Rising 2' Case Zero, we will soon have 'Dead Rising 2' but now there is another! 'Dead Rising 2: Case West'!! That's Frank West to you, I and thousands of zombies in a shopping mall. Ring any bells? The dude out of the first Dead Rising perhaps... Yep, hes coming to the new game and will fit into a co-op role for multi player, cool eh! It will also give the story of what happened to him after the events of DR1. But this isn't a prequel, nor is it meant to be during DR2, its set after it all apparently... sort of kills the suspense on whether Chuck makes it or not through the main game eh... Anyway, check out the feature on 'Case West' below courtesy of our good buddie's over at Game Trailers.com



Xbox 360 - Vote for your 'Deal of the Week'!!


Are you always looking at Xbox DLC and thinking 'I'll get it when it goes on sale'? Good, cos now you can make it go on sale!! Over at Major Nelsons site you can see all the fine details or check his direct quote below but basically we are going to be able to choose from a small range of DLC which will then go on sale based on the vote. I imagine that this is a testing phase to see how it works out and if successful it could become the norm! Judging from the snap shot here and the ones over on Major's blog this will come into place after the next dashboard update. So, cheapskates unite and vote your tight asses off soon as, I know I will!

"Want to tell us what
