While PS3 and Revolution don't yet exist - they're built from press shots and promises, so far - Xbox 360 is here and it's☂ real. We're about to ride the second wave of games for the machine, which are already looking to squeeze greater performance out of the console, and they're anything but prettied-up ver🐠sions of current-gen games.

Dead Rising

Capcom's the king of zombie games, but Dead Rising pays homage to the king of zombie movies: Dawn of the Dead.

Set in a shopping mall where hundreds of items, from chainsaws and golf clubs to purses and parasols, can be wielded as weapons against the hundreds🃏 of shuffling flesh munchers, it's as much a slapstick comedy as a gore-rich horror. Your only goal is to reach the helicopter on the roof (okay: and maybe take some Pulitzer-worthy pics as well). How you do so is up to you.

Dead Rising will be lunging for your brains by May.
