Kotaku Writes: Dead Rising 2, like its predecessor is a video game that offers players the opportunity to re-kill zombies with dozens — hundreds? — of common and uncommon items. I recently tried to find the worst weapons in the game.

Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.
