Zombie headcounts have risen dramatically since the last couple of games, and the destructive capabilities of the available arsenal have followed suit. That's a round-the-houses way of declaring Dead Rising 3 to be perfectly entertaining in an entirely shallow way, and by God there's nothing at all wrong with shallow if you're looking for shallow. 'What did I just do?' 'Where was I just now?' 'What was it about this that seemed to matter so much?' If all this also sounds like a metaphor for masturbation, well, yes, probably. I will invariably partake of both activities for some time given the opportunity (and enough tuppence pieces), but once I've finished there is that moment of slightly chagrined self-reflection. Second-to-second you're the most engrossed and engaged you've ever been in this tiny act - be it dropping 2 pence into a hole or slapping a zombie about with an electrified sledgehammer - but by the next second all the tension and drama of the last 2 pence/zombie-slap has vanished from your mind.

Even after four Saints Row games, hitting dumb videogame NPCs with big plastic willies is still a bit funny, after all. Harrowing last-second escapes because I found a carton of apple juice on the side, or an improbably lethal dildo on the ground. Dead Rising 3 does do that, but the potential anecdotes arrive in a constant rush, a dozen stories per second, and are pushed out by still more before they can leave an impression in the wet cement of my memory. I love to share brief vignettes with people, and so demonstrate why that game meant something to me particularly. I've long inclined towards games that create anecdotes. An Xbox One 'exclusive' last year, today it releases on PC. There's still time to play dress up and build your own mad weapons and vehicles, though. The clock's ticking, and you - and anyone you can rescue - need to find a way to escape before Bad Things happen. Previously the series has been set primarily in a mall, but now it moves to a GTA-style open-world city.
Lots of lots of zombies, and then lots and lots more. Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition is a game about killing zombies.
