Is Dead Rising 2: Off The Record Still Worth Playing In 2026?
Dead Rising 2 Off the Record swaps Chuck Greene for Frank West in a what-if retelling of Fortune City's zombie outbreak, and Lennon and David break down whether the fan service holds up, covering the photography mechanic returning, the story's plot holes, an absolutely deranged number of looters, and why the vanilla Dead Rising 2 is still the better experience. Next week, they start a new trilogy with Gears of War 1.

Is Dead Rising 2 Still Worth Playing In 2026?
Dead Rising 2 drops Frank West's camera and replaces it with Chuck Greene, a motocross dad racing against the clock to keep his zombie-bitten daughter alive across the neon-soaked casino floors of Fortune City, and Lennon and David break down why Blue Castle Games' 2010 sequel still holds up as one of the best examples of a sequel that expands on its predecessor without losing what made it great. They cover Fortune City, the combo weapons, the psychopaths, the money economy, Case Zero, and why Rebecca Chang deserved better.

Is Dead Rising (2006) Still Worth Playing In 2026?
Frank West has covered wars you know, and Lennon and David revisit Dead Rising one across both the 2006 original and the Deluxe Remaster to find out if Capcom's shopping mall zombie survival classic still holds up twenty years later. They cover the survivor AI, the psychopaths, the tonal changes in the remaster, Frank's new voice, and why this game's premise still hits differently to almost anything else out there.
