The eighth and final part of Zombrex: Dead Rising Sun has been posted on Xbox Live this week.  The film is an homage to the classic b and c zombie films of the 70s and 80s, and was directed by the producer of the Dead Rising series.

The film is a part of the Dead Rising storyline.  In it, we follow George, a Japanese teenager confined to a wheelchair, who needs to survive the zombie outbreak as it hits Japan.  Along the way he makes friends and foes, and will need to keep his wits in order to survive.

Dead Rising 2 is coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 September 28th.

What Defines Multiplatform? September 6, 2010

I could type out PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii, but I’ve got stuff to do.  So whenever possible I like to use the all encompasing term “Multiplatform” when I say which platforms the games I report on will launch for if it is going to be released on many different platforms.

Unfortunatly multiplatform is a very general term.  In most cases, games these days seem to be coming for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC all at around the same time, occasionally a Wii game is thrown in there, but not so much anymore.  So can a game coming for three platforms be considered multiplatform or does it have to be released for all of the big four to count?  Can I get away with calling it multiplatform if it’s just three out of four?  Does PC even count as a platform? Ed. Note – Of course it does.

On another thought does multiplatform count on handhelds?  Currently the PSP, DS are the two major handheld devices, but what about cell phones for gaming devices?  iPhone or Android OS sure, but there are thousands of different phone platforms which can play games, does one game have to come out on all those too for multiplatform?

Eh screw it, I’ll just have to type it all out.  I think my hair is going to be very gray soon.
