Frank West writes on walls in Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing

Nintendo Tim over at Destroyed Controller has discovered a curious wall scribbling in Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing by none other than Dead Rising's shutterbug hero, Frank West.

Very interesting.  Could this mean something or is it just an Easter Egg?

Surf, Sun, Beaches...and Zombies?

It was literally a Dead Rising paradise at Capcom's Captivate 2010 media event which took place April 14th in Honolulu, Hawaii.    The embargo has just been lifted, so new info is flying in right now.  Updated with Co-op demo video!

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero

Here is a piece of concept art from the upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive DLC set to be released sometime before Dead Rising 2.    Case Zero takes place in a town by the name of Still Creek and will provide around three hours of zombie slaying mayhem.   Still Creek's rustic desert setting seems like it'll be a nice change of pace from the first game's suburban Willamette Mall.

Give the Gift of Life with Zombrex

Thank god.  My Zombrex infection suppression kit has finally arrived!   Itchy. Scratchy. Tasty.

These kits were given out to lucky patients during GDC 2010.   The kit consists of a Zombrex syringe "pen", bandaid, and a Heath and Safety poster. 

Clicky click click on the image for a supersized picture.

Co-op in DR 2?

Like Gears Of War, and Resident Evil 5, Dead Rising 2 will have co-op in single player. According to Game Informer (magazine not yet released), another person can join Chuck Greene in eradicating the zombie hordes. How will the 2nd player character look like? Is this even for real? Check out Capcom's annual Captivate in the following days, and read Game Informer, to see if its info is on the up and up for the concrete details.

Just a teaser splash page at the moment, but things seem to be gearing up!

Dead Rising info @ Wondercon: Where is it?

Where is the beef -- er, I mean, where is the DR 2 info? Since yesterday, there has been scarce info about this game from Wondercon. How much scarce news? Only three tweets from twitter 'detailing' the trailer, gameplay, demo and news of multiplayer that you cannot only play as humans but also as zombies. So, I expect Capcom or some other outlet to post news tomorrow (I don't know why it was not posted already)

PS

Also something about Dead Rising: Case 0 being released for the iPhone.

A Deadly Premonition you'll want to have

Dead Rising 2 news has slowed down to a trickle right now so I thought I'd give props to an Xbox 360 game I'm really enjoying right now, Deadly Premonition.

This awesome experience can be purchased right now for the low price of 19.99 at fine game retailers everywhere!

The always entertaining Jim Sterling over at Destructoid best sums up what Deadly Premonition's all about in his review found here.   Zach?!  Sssh.  We'll talk later...
 

In other Capcom news... Lost Planet 2 gets bundled in Japan

Microsoft and Capcom have announced that they will release a Lost Planet 2 themed Xbox 360 bundle alongside the game's May 20 release date.

Nothing too exciting here. With the usual cables and doodads, you'll receive a copy of the game, a 2GB Lost Planet 2 branded USB stick loaded with a "making of" movie and other premium content, and an Xbox media remote.

The system itself comes with a disappointingly paltry 60GB drive. Seems strange that Microsoft would choose to pair the system with such a small hard drive considering that the 250GB was just released March 11th (in Japan).

Hopefully Microsoft and Capcom will get a bit more creative should they choose to release a Dead Rising 2 bundle.
