Dead Rising 2: Off the Record (18)

A 'reinterpretation' of Dead Rising 2 starring Frank West, this features more brutal zombie-bashing action than any individual could reasonably want. It features a new sandbox environment, allowing you to roam at will, although you must complete tasks in time, which proves a serious challenge.

As ever, it is the unique – and grotesque – ways that you dispose of your enemies that stands out. Available at a bargain price, it is worth a look for players who are new to the title.
