Dead Rising

In a mall, full of zombies, two guys (Graham & Paul) and a microphone are all that stands between you and boredom. This week, it's Dead Rising.

This one didn't drag on as much as Eternal Sonada, but the jokes wereen't as good.

Is it just me, or does Sim City of the Dead! sound like an amazing game?

Not bad, not bad...
Haven't played the game yet, which means I'm probably in a very small demographic, but I've been waiting for it for a while.
...And am I the only one who would like to play Sim City of the Dead?

Edit: Guess not.

Started with to many crotch jokes.

Other than that, that was as good as last week.

Did they not notice that his hat has some strange clipping issues with his headsets? They couldn't erm, fix that?

Very amusing. There were lots of really good one liners. I definitely liked it a lot more than last weeks. It didn't seem to drag on as long.

That's the new style these days. Brimmed hats with headset cutouts.

Good stuff.

I wonder why they clipped out all the sequences where you can move the camera and take pictures of zombies. I get that it isn't a cutscene during those potions but given how many games mix gameplay with cutscenes it seems like they're gonna have to do it eventually.

Didn't Will Wright make SimCity not Sid Meier?

I only noticed that because often I've made that mistake, thinking Sid Meier made the Sim games/. I get confused because both the NPC's in Sid Meier's Pirates! and The Sims speak gibberish.

It was good that they used the default costume on the intro, and didn't go for the cheap laughs by dressing Frank in children's clothes (funny yet very disturbing).

"Land? On a helipad?" Excellent, very funny, I think everyone mocks the cutscenes when they're bored.

I havn't played Dead Rising before but I have to say that the protagonist looks very Indiana Jones-like here...

I'd have to agree; there were nowhere near as many laugh out loud brilliant bits as the previous two. Still good though; loved the sanwhich bit.

I think the series could do with maybe making the interaction between the trwo commentators a little bit more natural and continuous, something I think they did very well in the pilot.

Looking forward to more though

Sounds like a good Idea. Let's just hope EA doesn't fuck it up.
This was another good one. But one small problem, That cutscene can be skipped. But, it was as good as last week's.

I was surprised they didn't mention the fact that the protagonist was dressed like Indiana Jones and the porn star American Indian guy went unmentioned as well. Still funny though. I guess I'm warming up to the series.

Huzzah, episode 2 is real.

I notice you skipped the interactive portion of the intro. True, you could have embarrassed yourself there, but that also could have been a real nice opportunity to do some wacky things and make fun of it.

You can get various changes of clothes for Frank whilst in the mall, and once you've put them on, he'll be wearing them all the time, even in the cutscenes.

If thier title means anything I don't think so since you can skip the Cutscenes in Valkyria Chronicles.
I wonder if the dialog writers know there was gonna be a helipad on the roof or not cuase it really looks like he could of just got a little bit closer if he wanted or not thought it was crazy.
