Genocide

Yeah!

Well I finally managed to unlock one of the tougher achievements in the excellent XBox 360 game, "Dead Rising" last night. Yup, managed to get the Zombie Genocider which means that I despatched 53,594 of the shuffling, brain dead motherfuckers whilst still managing to complete the game in 72-hour mode, which is no mean feat let me tell you.

This does, however, mean that I am coming to the end of what I can do in this game which is a bit of a pity as it has definitely been one of the best titles I have ever played on any format. The game has certainly proven to have a really long shelf life, and certainly I feel as if I've got my money's worth out of the title.

There's still a few things I think I can realistically do but it cannot be long before, unfortunately, the game will be traded (most likely for the up and coming Forza Motorsport 2, which looks awesome). However it does continue to show how Next Gen gaming has certainly managed to hold my interest.

No doubt, with the release of the Playstation 3 this week, the spotlight will be back on NextGen consoles, with much debate about which one is the best, etc but I can certainly say that I am in no way disapppointed with my purchase decision. So let the debate rage on, I care not a jot, as long as there are a few more zombies left to despatch.

Dead Rising to get Co-Op Add-On?

I do hope this is true. I was considering trading this game (great as it is, I have finished it once, but somehow never seem to tire of smashing zombies), but this might change my mind.

Regardez:
"The latest edition of Electronic Gaming Monthly has suggested that Capcom will soon be releasing a co-op mode for it's mega-hit Dead Rising. If there's one thing that Dead Rising players collectively believe is missing from the game, it's the chance to smash zombies over the head with baseball bats, while your buddy let's rip with an SMG.

EGM says the new co-op mode will be available in two ways. First up is in the platinum edition of the game (presumably an Xbox 360 "Classics" title) and also by way of a download from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Capcom have yet to comment on the rumours. "
