Death in Vegas

Chuck Greene! He's your everyday Joe! He likes sports, his family and daft cocktails. In that order. He even likes a sneaky fritter. That's why he's in an adult sized theme park! Capcom's latest trailer for Dead Rising 2 not only assures its ravishing public that post-apocalyptic shredder technology has gotten a little more imaginative, it also gives beard strokers allegory zings - they're continuing the consumer culture Hell heave!

Whereas first installment hero Frank was a bankrupt photo-journalist out for a sleazy scoop, Chuck is man without natural curiosity. He's not a staunch survivalist, he's a working stiff trapped on all sides, praying for a return to normalcy. Why not then have your in-game cast trying their extra super hardest to just ignore the undead? They want to continue living in convenience bubble America! With this in mind, hopefully, sub-missions will include attempting to stage a cook-out without rotting stumbler intervention, and trying to keep a lid on wifey and 2.4 children as the world shuffles off into the abyss.

Imagine it! Chuck returning triumphant from shop scavenge suicide-missions, only to be reminded that he forgot frivolous item X and everyone is going to sulk now. He needn't have bothered getting everything else! Why not expel your impotent man-rage on the ex-shoppers? Dead Rising 2 has the potential to be the ultimate male anxiety simulator! Can you please anyone?
