I’ve been meaning to post this, but webcomic VG Cats had a strip one day, probably in celebration of a game that totally should have had Mega Man in it, called “100 Kirbies”, dedicated to the “what if” forms that Kirby could take on if he had to chance to suck them down like so many Slurpies.
How many incarnations can you recognize above? (Hint: They’re all Capcom related)
After you’re done with that lineup, check out the full strip. Scroll to the bottom of strip if you’re wondering which Kirby each is.

That got your attention faster than news of Avatar’s easy Achievement hack, didn’t it? MTv’s games blog, Multiplayer, has been digging in to the glorious mystery of everyone’s favorite invisible nerd points and just set their sites on Dead Rising. MTv conversed via email with DR game designer Goda Hidehiro about inspirations behind the Achievements, why all the game’s Achievements are the same worth regardless of difficulty and his personal take on why we keep chasing those points which are worth less than your epic WoW mount du jour.
Dead Rising is not only a truly awesome game, but also boasts some of my favorite Achievements, such as points for walking 33 feet on zombie heads (”Zombie Road”), knocking over zombies with an umbrella (”Raining Zombies”) and an Achievement for escorting 8 female survivors simultaneously (”Frank the Pimp”). IMHO, The single most creative Achievement in this or any 360 game is “Zombie Genocider,” which comes from killing 53,594 zombies — the population of the town, as seen on the Welcome to Wilamette sign on the helicopter ride to the mall — and rewards the player with 20 measly points and Mega Man’s MegaBuster weapon. Dope!

If you want to stalk a post-apocalyptic wasteland to feed on the flesh of the living, but keep getting pwned by local heroes, you should find some similarly-minded zombie friends over at Zombie Walk. Because seriously, a lone zombie is just asking for a shoddy to the dome.

Japan’s Computer Entertainment Software Association recently held their Japan Game Awards 2007 during this year’s Tokyo Game Show that took place from September 20-23rd and Capcom was able to walk away with multiple awards.
Monster Hunter Freedom 2, a PSP title that to date has sold over 1.4 million copies in Japan, was awarded the esteemed Grand Award as well as the Award for Excellence by the CESA. In addition, Okami, and our platinum hit, Lost Planet, also receive the Award for Excellence. Meanwhile, Dead Rising’s global mass appeal allowed it to capture the Global Award.
The Tokyo Game Show attendees chose as recipients for the Future Awards, given for highly anticipated games, Capcom’s Devil May Cry 4, Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes and Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure.
We at Capcom feel very honored and thankful for the recognition and will strive to continue to bring top notch games to video gamers around the world.

There’s something about chainsaws and zombies that just makes them go satisfyingly together. This fact obviously did not escape our partners over at Microsoft Japan, as they’ve announced a special Mature-games bundle for the Japanese territory that brings together Dead Rising and Gears of War in one bloody bundle.
This bundle sounds brilliant, and would probably do well here in the States as well, but there’s no one left here who still don’t own Dead Rising and Gears of War, right?
