"Interesting" Dead Rising game mechanics

deadrising-2.jpgdead4.jpg When freelance journalist Frank arrives in Colorado, he's a bit of a girly man. In other to survive Dead Rising, you're oging to have to whip him into physical and mental shape, and here's where the gameplay takes an interesting twist. In a quasi RPG-level-up kinda way you are trying to accumulate "Prestige Points" or PP for short, which boost your attributes. This can be accomplished by running on a treadmill (in a mall infested with zombies? That has to be distracting), eating a crockpot full of beans, and - get this - taking Porky photos of the women you save can even make you stronger. If that was only true in real life - we'd all look like Arnold by now! [via Famitsu] Can you think of another game where you get stronger via cleavage? deadrising-1.jpg
