- Dead Rising(TM) follows the tale of Frank West, a photojournalist. In pursuit of a lead, he makes his way to a small suburban town only to find that it has become overrun by zombies.
- Real-time gameplay
- Visual clarity
- Encounter other survivors along the way. Helping them will give you more clues as to what has happened and what you need to do to stop it

My top pick is the Elder Scrolls game, but that's just me. I LOVE the Elder Scroll series. I am getting an XBOX 360 for Christmas so I'll have to review some games for real then!

Happy holidays!
