Or maybe it’s ‘Case 0′, like in the title screen? Whatever.
Ok, so the ZRC played the Dead Rising 2 prologue for a few hours this evening over dinner (a lovely ricotta and parmesean stuffed tortellini with a simple marinara sauce, thanks for asking). First impressions follow:

As of this morning, my Xbox informs me, you can download the prologue to upcoming Zombie-bashing megahit Dead Rising 2. Not that I’m suggesting that you SHOULD, of course. It’s just something that all Zombies and Zombie allies need to be aware of.
The Zombie Rights Campaign has bitten the bullet on this issue [...]

Anime News Network has a regularly run games column called ‘The X Button’, and recently they got to sit down with Keiji Inafune (famous for his work on Megaman but also a pivotal figure in Dead Rising’s development) along with his Dead Rising 2 colleague and co-producer Shinsaku Ohara about Dead Rising 2’s development.
It’s about [...]

Ok, this is way past its expiration date, so to speak. Fallout 3, the long-awaited sequel to the classic Fallout franchise, came out in 2008, and I recently picked up the Game of the Year Edition from Amazon looking for a little respite from Zombie related activities. Something to pick me up after [...]

Dead Rising 2 comes out soon, and before the main event they’re trying an interesting promotional concept: a DLC addon prequel to the main game.
You know, sort of like how a drug dealer might give you a sample to get you hooked.
Naturally the ZRC will have to purchase both; we’re mulling over how to do [...]

My Xbox is telling me that there’s a new Left 4 Dead 2 addon. I’d previously read a bit about it, and apparently the downloadable content adds a bit of backstory and allows a crossover between the casts of the two games. Further, one of the original cast is supposed to die in [...]

Seems like Xbox Live is promoting various ‘zombie’ games and products this week. They have the Yet Another Zombie Defense game that was already reviewed here on the ZRC blog, as well as other games and products, various Hollywood movies, etc.
If only we could get this kind of exposure for positive Zombie experiences. [...]

Reinvention in the horror genre is a very common occurrence. Vampires are especially prone to this, but it’s true of all so-called ‘monsters’. (See this TV Tropes page for examples)
Depictions of the Differently Animated, aka Zombies, in America have largely been of one of two types. First you had your Voodoo thrall [...]

I was looking through the Xbox Live Marketplace today and saw something insidious – a Zombie game being sold under the Indie Game label for only 80 points, or a dollar in real money.
I decided to investigate, and what I found was shocking.
Ok, not *that* shocking.
As the title suggests, Yet Another Zombie Defense [...]
