Atarihas revealedFatal Run 2089, a very late sequel to the very late 1990 gameFatal Run. More importantly, I don’t remember the last time I played a decent, new vehicular combat game. MaybeGas Guzzlers ExtremeorCarmageddon: Max Damage. Quite a drought in games about stapling miniguns to station wagons. Fatal Runwas a very latterday game for the Atari 2600 and 7800. As such, it was pretty much unknown to anyone outside the core fanbase of those consoles until its inclusion in theAtari 50: The Anniversary Celebration....

Frank West is back with a candy-cane crossbow for Dead Rising 4

Gotta love that ‘Die Hard Christmas’ vibe Those leaks were on point. Capcom unveiledDead Rising 4today at Microsoft’s E3 2016 press conference and it’s set during the holidays, with Frank West returning to bust up some zombie heads using a candy-cane launcher. I didn’t play the last game, but I’m so into this, tonally. The series’ wackiness is in tact. At one point Frank wears a fire-breathing dinosaur head, and at another, he’s in a super-powered suit smacking the horde with a cement-block hammer....
