Rate the Game: Week 54

[M-A-G]

Welcome to another week, ladies and gentlemen. Last week we delved into one of the Dark Knight's most well-known entries in his video game career. It was generally well-received if not incredibly loved but it all comes down to the overall score. So where does this title fall in regards to our great leaderboard? It's incredibly long HTML code time!

Well, Arkham Asylum gets over the hump with a score of 3.76 and lands on the upper-half of the leaderboard at 25. I pegged this one as a possible top ten but what can one do? Maybe Arkham City and the rest of the sequels will have better luck...if they're in the pot. Heck, one of them might be this week's game! Let's find out....

...and there we go! YOUR game to rate this week is Capcom's first entry in another zombie-killing franchise of theirs, Dead Rising! Does Frank West have a better game than those S.T.A.R.S. members? Is it a memorable classic? What say you, good people of TPWW? Rate this game and discuss and all that good stuff that makes you...well, you! Until next week!
