Everything to do with our favourite pastime! Reviews, recommendations, sells/swaps, problems etc. Whether they are on the latest consoles, arcade or retro classics. It's not the winning or losing, we came to play!
BTW, when you start the demo, there is a door nearby. If you go in there, there'll be a cutscene and then the demo ends. The cutscene seems a bit spoiler-ish, so stay out, if you dislike that sort of thing.
Here are some secret stuff taken from the PA forums. I haven't tested any of these myself yet.
Hidden sword.
Go into the Columbian Roastmaster and to the table closest to the register overlooking the plaze. Jump down to a red overhang below to get the sword.
Cooking.
Yes, you can cook in this game. well, sort of. Combine the following ingredients in the blender at Columbian Roastmasters.
-Baking Ingredients + Orange Juice = Nectar (Effects currently unknown)
-Baking Ingredients + Cooking Oil = Spitfire (spitting is REALLY powerful)
-Baguette + Orange Juice = Untouchable (Invincible)
-Baguette = Baking Ingredients = Untouchable (Invincible)
-Orange Juice + Orange Juice = Nectar (Effects currently unknown)
-Pie + Orange Juice = Untouchable (Invincible) CREDIT TO RUBYMAAN
-Pie + Pie = Untouchable (Invincible)
Frying pan action.
Use the frying pan on the stove, then the next time you're about to hit a zombie with it, instead of just pressing X, *hold* X. You burn their Goddamn face off!
Hidden SMG.
Start the demo and go halfway up the first set of stairs to the second floor. Look to your right and there is a blue ledge jump at it and you will pull yourself up. Hug the wall and keep following the ledge. There's also a box, some OJ, and a big stuff bear up there but ignore them and follow the ledge to the end to find the SMG.
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This taste of milk is almost gone
Still got my shame, but not for long
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, in the rain
But the rain all turned to piss
Start download, 1%, freeze. That's odd, think I, and reboot. It instantly starts downloading so I take off to see the movie Monster House. After a fun afternoon I get home and it's stuck at 13%. Worry!
Turning the 360 off and back on gets a frozen load screen, and then off and on again the three dreaded red lights. One more off/on cycle returns things to normality, so I let it get on with things while keeping an eye on it. It freezes again at 26%.
Ok, this sucks. So, off it goes and I let it cool down. I'll give it one more chance, so I start it up again and continue the download. This time I'll give it something more to do than just download, so I play some Geometry Wars while it gets on with things. On the plus side, when it froze I got a spectacular shot with lots of lovely particle effects all over the place, practically filling the whole screen.
On another forum I frequent, the Dead Rising download did roughly the same thing to one person's 360, while running the game is what killed the other guy's. Scary!
To be quite honest, it's probably just unlucky coincidence And not to worry if you don't have an extended warranty - I think I read something saying that MS had extended the included warranty to 1 year for any "red flashing lights" thing that was going on.
Of course it's only relevent to our friends over the other side of the pond. EU says we get 2 years, and you could have a nasty go under the sale of goods (I think!) act which states that devices like this should work for a "reasonable period". Which is certainly more than a year
FWIW I've successfully returned playstations well out of warranty with dodgy lasers by throwing this kinda stuff around.

Hi Alan. cancel that play order this second. Gameplay have the Dead Rising - Limited Edition Metal Case version for £39.99 and if you pay the 99p P&P you will get it on the wed or thurs for sure. Bought all my games from then and they always come 1 to 2 days early. Play might not ship till the thur and it will be the next tues, wed before you are killing zombies.
In the US, our pre-order goody is a t-shirt. Anyone want to trade a crummy old tin case (and any extra goodies other than the game inside) for a spiffy Dead Rising t-shirt?
Just downloaded Dead Rising, loving the "not related to George A Romero.." comment on start up
Game is ok, graphically average, gameplay seems to "tight" don't think I'll like the story confines on it if it determines where and when I can go. Maybe worth £20 s/hand but defo not my next £50 purchase. Quite let down actually thought it would be a go anywhere do anything kinda game, shame wanted to like it really did.
