Dead Rising

Dead Rising is an action/RPG for the Xbox 360 game system. In this sandbox-style game, you play Frank, a freelance Journalist out for the big scoop. Your trusty helicopter pilot drops you into a military quarantined city where all the citizens are mysteriously "rioting." Upon being dropped into the mall, you find these unruly citizens are actually denizens of the walking dead. Armed with your camera and any item you can get your hands on, from swords and guns to teddy bears, guitars, benches, flower pots, plates, baguettes and chainsaws. The mall is your playground as you explore, survive, escort survivors to the security room for safety, and try to unravel the mystery behind this sudden outbreak of flesh-eating hordes all over the city. Overall, I had a good time with this game due to it's large amount of replayability. After a few scares, some arcade-like escort missions and plenty of zombie slaying, I was hooked. It's always fun to pick up new weapons and see what their effect is. Ever seen someone beat up a zombie with a teddy bear? It's just as effective as it sounds.
