Dead Rising: Case Zero is being released today on PS3 and Xbox 360. The prequel to the forthcoming Dead Rising 2 is only available through Xbox Live and PSN rather than as a full retail game.

Dead Rising 2 is due out at the end of September, but it’s being trailed by a prequel telling the story of how Chuck Greene came to be in Las Vegas where he encounters hordes of zombies.

The story sees Greene trying to save his daughter from becoming one of the undead by finding and administering her a dose of Zombrex.

If you enjoyed the original Dead Rising and are planning to buy Dead Rising 2 then you should seriously consider purchasing Dead Rising: Case Zero. And for n00bs, well you can’t go wrong with zombies, can you?
