Dead Rising Sucks
There, I said it. Some of you may have read my review of the game posted late last week. The game, though fun, suffers from a punishing error that makes it almost unplayable. Watch the video to learn more. Oh, and I should warn you that I didn’t put in any in-game footage. I can’t get my XBox 360 to connect to my Media Center PC (darn Microsoft!). Hopefully I’ll get it all together in future episodes.

Trailers - Just Cause, Lego Star Wars II, Runaway 2, Pirates of the Carribean II
*note: You’ll see an illegible note on the Star Wars clip that says that while I promised a demo, it’s really a trailer that’s included. Capturing a video of the demo on my system was just not possible (graphics card), but for your info the demo is sweet and will, no doubt, be as great as the first. I can’t wait to play around with mix-and-match characters and the easy-in/easy-out coop mode is a welcome addition to any game, but especially one as zany as Lego Star Wars. If the demo was not almost a gig (zipped), I’d be including it here for download. However, as I don’t feel the need to bankrupt myself at this time, I will just enjoy it on my own until it is out in late September.
I have the PC Demo and have ordered the XBox 360 version (maybe it’ll come today?). I am assuming they’re the same, but if not I’ll come back and update this.
