UK Charts FIFA 11 Fights Off Pro Evolution Soccer 2011, Enslaved & Castlevania Debut
Are we going have to buy a factory's worth of Enslaved stock? After that ending we need the game to be profitable enough for Ninja Theory to develop a follow-up
But the first week's sales aren't looking overly promising. Well - perhaps we're exaggerating. Breaking the top ten at this time of year is hard work. So both Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow...
News Dead Rising 2 To Get Piles Of DLC Costumes
One of our favourite things about Dead Rising 2 were the ridiculous costumes you could don while slaying hordes of the undead
We spent a lot of our time with the game wearing a Blanka mask alongside a pair of hot-pants. Good times. It's nice therefore, to see Blue Castle provide a steady stream of new costumes via DLC. The first pack is up next week...

News Capcom Denies That They're Alienating PlayStation 3 Owners With Dead Rising 2
The first thing we thought when Capcom announced a second piece of XBOX 360 exclusive Dead Rising 2 content during TGS last week was, "Why?" Not why are they releasing the exclusive content, but why are they bothering to put the full game on the PlayStation 3 in the first place? They may aswell have kept the franchise an exclusive, as they don't seem fully committed to the PS3 at all
Sony fans are understandably felling pretty alienated now. But Capcom denies any wrong-doing. Co-producer Shinsaku...
News TGS 10: Oh Hey, Capcom Just Bought Blue Castle Games
Wow
Capcom must have enjoyed working with Dead Rising 2 developer, Canadian studio Blue Castle Games. The publisher's just announced that they've bought the studio out right.

A video uploaded by the Playstation Blog should give you a first taste of Dead Rising 2's multiplayer
The walkthrough with Capcoms Mike Schmitt and Wes Phillips is a little drawn out, but still relatively exciting if you're interested in batting zombies over the head with clubs and various other objects. We're reasonably excited. The game's...
News Dead Rising 2 Trailer Is Deadly Serious To The Point Of Irony
"My name is Chuck," protagonist Chuck Greene exclaims without the slightest intention of irony in this latest trailer for Capcom's upcoming Dead Rising 2

News Capcom: Original Dead Rising Felt "Too Japanese"
The original Dead Rising did not come out on the Playstation 3, but was largely considered as something of a flawed gem

News Dead Rising 2 Trailer Is Suitably Hilarious
Here's the latest trailer for Capcom's upcoming zombie slasher, Dead Rising 2
