A new mission based DLC pack is on its way.
Deep Silver has announced a new DLC pack for Dead Island, titled Ryder White. The new mission-based pack will follow the story of the game's antagonist character and allow players to see the events of the main game from his perspective. The DLC pack will add several hours of gameplay to the title and will also include new weapon blueprints.
These zombies ate my neighbors, so now they all need to die.
Until Lucasarts does something with their cult classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors, this is the true spiritual successor to the classic SNES/Genesis multiplayer zombie killing simulator. From the overhead perspective to the cartoony visuals and wacky weapons, this game brought warm, fuzzy memories to someone that spent hours with Zombies Ate My Neighbors. With weapon crafting, RPG stat building, and four player co-op, this is the game I would have wanted had the series continued past Ghoul Patrol.
Blast more zombies with these two light gun shooters.
The House of the Dead series is one of the most iconic light gun series in gaming. Given the numerous pointing peripherals on the market right now, it's no surprise that Sega is breathing new life into the series with a variety of releases, the latest of which are ports to the PlayStation Network of House of the Dead 3 and 4. The two titles will be Move enabled and feature upgraded HD graphics and trophy support.
He's covered wars, y'know!
Over a year ago, Capcom released the original Dead Rising 2. It starred brand new protagonist Chuck Greene, a character I actually liked. Unlike Frank West, he had a backstory worth caring about, as well as a personality befitting of a hero. In an effort to protect his daughter and deliver her the Zombrex she so desperately needed, he saved dozens of lives and uncovered the origins of the zombie outbreak in Fortune City. For whatever reason, fans didn't like Chuck Greene much and Capcom has since taken strides to nearly write him out of the series. Off the Record goes as far as retelling the same story with Frank West in his place. Given that the retelling comes with a slew of upgrades and an entirely new mode, it's most definitely a better game; however, Frank West still doesn't resonate with me as a character, nor does his signature picture-taking ability as a gameplay mechanic.

EA seeks to expand a brand by possibly diluting the product.
EA has been really trying to turn Visceral Games’ Dead Space franchise into a major brand. In addition to the fantastic sequel that was released earlier this year, the Dead Space name has been popping up on comic books, animated films, a novelization and the franchise spin-off on-rails shooter Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii and PlayStation 3. But if a source cited by Kotaku is to be believed, EA is gearing up for some major expansion of the survival horror franchise.
