PALGN writes: "A prevailing philosophical outlook among gamers is that in our age of rapid technological development, the only thing that truly matters is solid game design and compelling gameplay. Certainly, there is great truth in the notion that all the anti-aliasing and bump-mapping (and other hyphenated terms) in the world cannot in themselves generate fun without solid fundamentals. However, when one considers Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, Capcom's Wii port of 2006's Xbox 360 zombie-'em-up, it becomes clear that the conventional wisdom must be qualified or modified. When solid tech contributes fundamentally to the gameplay experience, can a pared-down equivalent truly compare?"
