Episode 40 is here, and Lou and I are talking about one of my all-time favorite games—Dead Rising on the Xbox 360! Hot take: this is the best zombie franchise Capcom has ever made. Yeah, I said it. Resident Evil may have the horror, but Dead Rising has the chaos, creativity, and pure absurdity of being trapped in a shopping mall during the apocalypse.
We break down everything that makes this game special—from smacking zombies with a giant teddy bear to discovering all the wild easter eggs pulled straight from classic horror movies. It’s got B-movie charm, ridiculous weapons, and a dose of social satire that makes you question if the zombies or the mall-goers were worse.
Of course, it’s not perfect. The timed missions will stress you out, and the save system feels like a relic from the Stone Age. But even with those flaws, Dead Rising is a masterpiece of mayhem. So grab a lawnmower, throw on a Servbot mask, and join us for this episode!
