Capcom’s Captivate 09 event featured a slew of games, but the highlight of the show was undoubtedly Dead Rising 2. The original game was one of the Xbox 360′s early standouts and a knowing homage to American zombie movies, and it’s hard to believe that the game is now almost three years old. Capcom R&D head and Dead Rising 2 producer Keiji Inafune has entrusted development of the sequel to Canadian studio Blue Castle Games, which was on hand at Captivate 09 to walk us through the game.

Dan Brody, CEO and general manager of Blue Castle, gave us a tech demo that offered highlights of a few key features that will be in the sequel. Like in the game’s predecessor, anything and everything can be used as a weapon, but the team is keen to up the ante with even more zombies and new weapons. Brody talked about maintaining the constant feeling of dread and being “out of your element.”

Dead Rising 2 introduces you to a brand-new location, the Vegas-like Fortune City, and a new hero, motocross champion Chuck Greene. The demo that we saw started out on a street where 1,000 zombies were enjoying a night out on the town, and moved into a small gaming lounge filled with rows of slot machines, card tables, and undead patrons. Taking control of Chuck, Brody picked up a baseball bat and begun laying into some hapless undead. Chuck will have plenty more weapons at his disposal, and we saw him taking hold of an electric guitar, machine gun, chair, roulette wheel, and even a slot machine.

“Resident Evil 5”

Rated: Mature

Distributed for: Playstation 3, Xbox 360

Slaughtering hordes of stampeding zombies just got a heck of a lot more satisfying with the release of Capcom ’s much-anticipated “Resident Evil 5.” The latest unnerving addition to the survival-horror franchise is loaded with new and terrifying enemies primed to kill, and the enthralling revamps will make players hungry to not only subsist, but to dish out some punishment as well. While this entry strays from the chilling scares of installments past, it finds solid footing as a fast-paced, moderately creepy shoot-’em-up.

This time around, the Cro-Magnon-like Chris Redfield finds himself traversing the African countryside like a modern day, machete-wielding Marlow and fighting a fresh set of deadly abominations in an effort to subvert the increasingly nefarious activities of the post-Umbrella world. It’s hard out there for a pimp; luckily, our moosey protagonist is joined by local zombie-slayer, Sheva Alomar , constituting the biggest improvement in the history of the “Resident Evil” series.
