Today is a good day to be a fan of Capcom games. With the news of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 I’m sure lots of people are giving exploding high-fives right now.  But the Capcom goodness keeps rolling in with the release of new Dead Rising 2 media.

With today being the slow news day that are most Monday’s I’m resorted to writing a quasi-fluff story based on a piece of Twitter info. Yes, once again Twitter is showing that it’s becoming an actual source for news instead of being a place where I can post that I’m having a nervous breakdown.

Finally thanks to TGS we have some new footage for Dead Rising 2 including our first look at the inventive multiplayer mode.  If you’re looking for fun ways to kill zombies then DR2 is the game for you and people will definitely get a kick out of some of the new weapons.

Among the new weapons players can use to kill the endless zombie horde include combining a pitchfork and a shotgun to make an almost modern take on the bayonet.
