Gamespot was able to get some hands on time with a new demo of Dead Rising, which allowed for more in-game exploration.  Dead Rising places you into the shoes and behind the camera lens of Frank West, a photo-journalist who is investigating a zombie infestation in Willamette, Colorado.  In-game skills are acquired through taking photos of dramatic events, with extra points being given for catching survivors in extreme distress.  The demo has provided new information on the weapons that Frank can use, as well as loads of videos and screen-shots.
Dead Rising hits shelves in the US on August 6th and in Europe on September 15th.
