Dead Rising 2: Case Zero

This week on the podcast we take a look at a new Xbox 360 exclusive, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero and a new film written, directed and produced by Robert Rodriguez, Machete.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero (01:15 – 22:24)

Capcom has done something a bit different in anticipation of the release of Dead Rising 2. They’ve released a prologue downloadable game, Case Zero, exclusively to the Xbox Live Marketplace for a mere 400 points. Taking place three years before the events of Dead Rising 2, the game introduces us to a new character Chuck Greene as he tries to come up with new and creative ways to eliminate any zombies in this path.

Machete (22:38 – 44:37)

And speaking of unique and interesting ways of killing things, we all checked out a new film released last week to theaters, Machete. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis, Machete was originally just a fake trailer that accompanied Grindhouse during it’s theatrical run in 2007. It’s since been turned into a full feature release with an ensemble cast including Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba and Steven Seagal. Check out our reviews to hear what we thought.
