2011 is looking to be a banner year for gaming, and, for the most part, this year’s E3 only confirmed that.

It’s been several years since photojournalist Frank “I covered wars, you know” West took on the undead in the Willamette shopping mall in Dead Rising. Dead Rising 2 is still a few weeks off from release, but if you have a Xbox 360 you can return to the carnage today!

If you’re like me, you’ve been using one of those handy-dandy 512MB memory cards to store your save games, profile, and other assorted digital bits and bobs from your Xbox 360 for easy portability. That 512 limit is no longer an issue, as today Microsoft added support for flash memory up to 16GB.

BioWare has officially hooked me with this one. Since I bought my copy in November, I’ve not only spent 60+ hours on my first run-through of the game, I think I’ve bought one of every piece of merch BioWare has for this game (including the Collector’s Edition 360 version).

Microsoft has rolled out their new Games for Windows Live platform, and they’re giving out some free gamerscore if you’ll give it a shot.
