Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is kind of difficult to judge. While it is a standalone title, it's not really a full game per se. It is, essentially, DLC for a game that hasn't been released yet, an extension of Dead Rising 2. Of course, no one has had that experience yet, meaning that Case Zero serves double duty as a demo as well. It's an interesting experiment for ...

Sonic Adventure climbs, Dead Rising 2 tops Xbox Live Activity charts
After a poor, not-even-in-the-top-10 opening week for the XBLA version of Sonic Adventure, some worried that Sega might lose its interest in bringing more Dreamcast classics to the platform. However, it seems that contrary to the nature of its blue, pointy protagonist, Sonic Adventure is just a ...
Capcom calls Dead Rising 2: Case Zero 'most dynamic sales weapon' it's ever had
"It's the most dynamic sales weapon we have ever had in our arsenal, giving us the equivalent exposure of a multi-million pound TV campaign," Capcom's UK product manager Karl Reader told MCV. "We foresee other publishers will follow suit." And why shouldn't they? Dead Rising 2: Case Zero has ...
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero tops XBLA charts, Sonic Adventure off to a slow start
Even three weeks after its release, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is the number one seller on Xbox Live Arcade.
