While we’ve seen a little of Dead Rising 2 in a viral video that was released back in February we’ve yet to actually see a proper trailer - until now of course! Capcom have released the first official trailer for the game; revealing a little of why there are zombies outside the mall of the first game and also introducing us to Chuck Greene.

Chuck Greene…

CHUCK Greene!

There’s a name that makes you think of a beefy guy playing American football for his college; which makes perfect sense as Chuck is apparently quite the sports fan, if whacking zombies with a baseball bat can qualify as a sport. He also likes to drink cocktails in the middle of a zombie infested city, and doesn’t forget to get a gift for the kids while he’s at it. All-in-all Chuck sounds like a pretty neat guy!

Oh, I almost forgot. He also likes to attach chainsaws to both ends of a pole, or just dispense with the walking and attach them to a motorbike instead. So, not only is Chuck a neat guy, but he is also a pretty inventive killing machine; which, to be honest, is a skill worth having when 7000 zombies are crammed on one screen. He really wants to live up to his ‘manly’ name doesn’t he?

Look at for more Dead Rising 2 at E3 this June.

The original Dead Rising was one of my ‘Bargain Bin‘ choices. Check out why I loved the game here.
