Dead Rising 2 Walkthrough
*NOTE: I know this game was made by Blue Castle Games, in Canada, but it’s still basically the same game as DR1. Same people worked on it too, and Capcom made the first game.* I believe this game demonstrates the theory that Eastern game developers have already lost to the West. What is this new [...]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review
