If you own a PS3 and an Xbox 360, and have been considering which system might offer the better experience for Dead Rising 2, this recently announced Xbox 360 exclusive DLC might seal the deal.

Capcom has released a trailer for the upcoming DLC, Dead Rising: Case West, which will be an exclusive to Xbox 360 users, just as the recently released Dead Rising: Case Zero download was. The expansion will act as an epilogue to the game, and feature the return of Frank West, the protagonist from Dead Rising that Capcom is determined to make iconic — whether we the gamers want it or not. West can also be seen as a playable character in the upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom 3, as well as a character skin in Lost Planet 2.

The expansion takes place shortly after the events of Dead Rising 2, and the sequel’s protagonist, Chuck Greene, must team up with West to stop a new zombie threat and clear his name. Gamers will be able to play co-op with the two heroes. No official word yet on price, but the DLC is set to release shortly after Dead Rising 2.

Dead Rising 2 is due out on Ps3, Xbox 360 and PC on September 28.

Warning: This trailer may not be suitable for all ages.

Red Dead Redemption 2 cheat code list and how to activate them

red dead redemption 2 rockstar editor coming soon arthur morgan

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a highly detailed open-world game that really leans into the idea of realism. From lifelike character animations to weather, and certain horse "parts," RDR2 wants you to feel like you're in America's heartland circa 1899. The realism extends to the story's methodical pacing and belief that you should spend a ton of time working your way through the world.

Still, RDR2 is a video game, and it's a virtual playground filled with fun and hilarious possibilities. That's where cheat codes come in to spice things up. Like the original RDR, there are a variety of cheat codes you can enter in to turn the realism notch down a tad and see what kind of trouble you can get into. From infinite ammo to unlimited drunkenness and virtual invulnerability, cheat codes can be fun to mess around with in RDR2.

Xbox Game Pass gets a significant shake-up to its Xbox One library as it swaps out Grand Theft Auto V for Red Dead Redemption 2 on May 7.

GTA V's exit comes suddenly, as it was only added to the subscription service on January 3. Players will have two weeks to wrap up any dirty work that Trevor, Franklin, and Michael have to finish in Los Santos. Alternatively, they can purchase a copy of the game, which is still a top-selling title nearly seven years after release, to continue their Grand Theft Auto Online adventure. Game Pass members can get GTA V for 20% off, putting it at $24 for the base game. Premium bundles and Shark Cards for its multiplayer mode are similarly discounted.

Rockstar focused on Red Dead Online, not Red Dead Redemption 2 single-player DLC

red dead online over redemption 2 dlc the trader

Red Dead Redemption 2 fans who are hoping for more DLC to further flesh out the game's single-player story should not hold their breath as Rockstar Games is currently focused only on Red Dead Online.

The story of Red Dead Redemption 2, set in the tail end of the 19th century, focuses on Arthur Morgan, the lead muscle of the 23-man Van der Linde gang. Players are taken through a galloping ride of emotions as the plot unfolds, with their decisions shaping the story as they play through the game's missions.
