If you ever wanted to play Dawn of The Dead, this could be your wet dream

Capcom has announced its first title for Xbox 360 - a brand new survival horror game going under the name of Dead Rising.

It follows the adventures of intrepid photo-journalist Frank West. Hunting down a scoop, he winds up wandering round a small suburban town - only to realise it's been overrun by an army of the undead.

Frank decides to take refuge in the local shopping centre, but it turns out the zombies are already wreaking havoc there, too. In his struggle for survival he must use anything he can get his hands on to defeat the evil dead and find out exactly what their problem is.

We're promoised “unprecedented numbers” of enemies descending on Frank in endless waves, and an infinite supply of weapons since he can use whatever he finds in the mall - carrier bags, kitchen knives - to defend himself.

Dead Rising is due out next year

Sounds like a fun idea alright, imagine suffocating a zombie with a shopping bag, brilliant.

I'm not as blown away as I feel I should be by the video, but it still looks good.
