For those unfamiliar with Dead Rising, it’s a sandbox-style game that throws you in an open world filled with zombies. The game originally released for Xbox 360 precisely a decade ago (give or take a week) and now PC players get to experience the wacky fun too. It’s still a odd game in a lot of ways, and you may or may not be interested in the mechanics which you’re forced into using but hey killingall of these zombies is never boring. Alternate reality of Dead Rising 2: Off The Record.

With the Dead Rising Triple Pack only coming with the three original games and not much else, there really isn’t anything new to say about this collection.

Dead Rising 2: Off the RecordFrank West returns and takes center stage in the reimagining of the Fortune City incident from Dead Rising 2. The gameplay is simple (hit Square to attack, hold Square for a stronger attack), and mowing down hundreds of zombies with an electric wheelchair still feels as morbidly satisfying as ever.

With Dead Rising 4 just around the corner, now seems like the flawless time to return to the original classic that started it all, with the remastered Dead Rising: Triple Pack now available on Steam, PS4, and Xbox One. The first game features photojournalist extraordinaire, Frank West, battling through a horde of zombies in a shopping complex while using a wide array of gadgets, costumes and weapons. There don’t seem to be any issues with the Xbox One and PC versions of the game, but if you’re planning on getting this collection on PS4, this is something you should definitely be aware of.
