Dead Still Rising
After a few hours' playtime on the weekend, I managed to progress a little further into Dead Rising. Man, this is a frustratingly-difficult yet kick-ass fun game. I've had it for ages and yet I'm still only up to dawn on the second day, which means I'm less than a third of the way through the 72-hour in-game time period.
I've resolved to forget about saving civilians and instead focus on completing the main storyline. That means I'm less distracted and have a bit more time to explore the mall. On Saturday I found an antique store which happened to have a katana and a couple of battle-axes - very handy for slicing through the undead. I've also managed to find a book which, when carried, lets me hold onto tools (lead pipes, chainsaws, sledgehammers etc) for longer periods of time.
If you have an Xbox 360 then it's hard not to recommend this game. It really shows off what's possible on the platform, and man it's fun wading through hordes of zombies with a chainsaw!

I've only played the demo, but man was it just hilarious! I must pick this game up at some stage.

It's definitely fun. Just very stressful because it's time-based. You have to get stuff done within an allotted time, so you're constantly watching the clock.

Man I wish I could play this game.
I think I need to come over for a visit soon Matt.
Mind you after a few C# questions no doubt I will get kicked out ;)

The door is always open Mu. C# questions are actually more likely to prolong your stay. :)
