2 million Dead Rising and counting

No, the zombie apocalypse isn’t on us yet.  Dead Rising 2, developed by Blue Castle Games for Capcom, has sold over 2 million copies since its release last month, which puts it on track to outsell its predecessor by a fair margin.  I’m ashamed to say that as a zombie fan I have yet to play the sequel, which gives players a chance to destroy the undead in a number of creative ways, including making their own weapon combos by duct taping such disparate items as chainsaws and paddles together.

During the Tokyo Game Show in September, Capcom announced plans to acquire Blue Castle, giving the company a stronger North American presence.  They’ve now confirmed that the acquisition has been ratified by Canadian regulatory authorities and Blue Castle is now a wholly owned subsidiary named Capcom Games Vancouver.
