Weekend Gaming: “Dead Rising 2″ [OPEN THREAD]


Dead Rising was actually the reason I broke down and bought my (first) Xbox 360. I played through that game about a dozen times and unlocked almost everything in it before moving on to Mass Effect.

I’ve since gone through a few Xbox 360s, but Dead Rising 2 has maintained its place on my most wanted list.It’s set in Fortune City, NV, which is basically a fictional version of Vegas. It adds a totally new environment, a ton of new weapons and the ability to construct unique weapons from items you find while exploring the game.
Dead Rising 2’s biggest addition comes by way of a new co-op mode. Gamers can now sync with friends to explore Fortune City and mow down zombies together. I haven’t played it nearly enough yet, but so far it feel like fans of the original will not be disappointed.
If zombies aren’t your thing, what are you playing this weekend? FIFA Soccer 11Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock or are you just getting around to Mass Effect 2? It doesn’t matter if you’re playing on an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii or PC, we want to hear from you.
Comments are open to: tips, critiques, (good-natured) smack talk and basically anything else related to gaming.
The weekend gaming open thread is intended to bring Mashable gamers together through conversation about games. This thread is for those of us who had the first NES and for those whose first gaming experience happened on an Xbox 360, so let’s try to keep it fun for everyone.
