Evidently, there’s more than meets the eye within the new Saints Row 2 video game for XBox 360 and PlayStation 3, due out on October 14th in America and October 17th in Europe. There’s a way to play a zombie version of the game (of sorts) by having your character play a video game within the game. Here’s an excerpt from this article from GameSpot.com:

“…even the cheapest of entertainment centers gives you the ability to play one of Saints Row 2’s hidden gems: a video game within the game called Zombie Uprising. Rather than a retro arcade game, this is actually a fully 3D zombie game that applies the look and feel of the regular game to a darker, more zombie-filled setting. In it you need to survive wave after wave of undead with a limited number of weapons and fellow survivors. It may be a poor man’s Left 4 Dead, but it’s still a very cool throw-in that’s indicative of just how much there is to do in Saints Row 2 if you go around looking.”

I don’t know if this would sway your decision to buy it or not, but it’s definitely a cherry on top for any zombie fan.

Those of you following our story on the Google Earth/zombie mashup The Last Guy will be happy to know that it is now available for download on the Playstation network. You’ll need a PS3 and $10 to play it. (I only have one of those things.)

Check out the above video for some actual gameplay footage of the upcoming Dead Rising: Chop Til’ You Drop Wii video game. It’s interesting to see how it’s coming along - obviously they are using the same targeting system from Resident Evil 4, and the motion controls seem to add to the gameplay experience. For all the flack the Wii gets for it’s graphics, I think they’re looking pretty good!

A few weeks ago we commented on a rumor that Dead Rising would be coming to the Nintendo Wii system. Today I’m happy to report that it’s true! Dead Rising: Chop Till you Drop will finally bring the shopping mall zombie killing extravaganza to the Wii with motion controls and a lower difficulty level (the original was rather difficult and was more geared to the hard core gamer). Wii owners will be able to get their fix when the game is released this winter.

Check out the free demo of The Last Guy, the upcoming Playstation 3 title which has players leading a group of survivors though a a city infested with zombies, on a map provided by Google Earth. This demo, called The Last Guy Everywhere, allows you to play the game not on a map, but on a website! That’s right - type in any website and play the game on it! It’s kinda neat even though ZombieReportingCenter.com doesn’t work on it.
