3 Things We Don't Like About Dead Rising 3

Capcom's Dead Rising 3 will release later this year exclusively for Xbox One. The game is set 10 years after the events of Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 with players taking on the role as Nick Ramos. Our protagonist is a mechanic with a mysterious past and now he must take on the undead in the infested South California city of Los Perdidos. At this year's E3 2013, we got a little hands on time with Dead Rising 3 and these are the top five things that we don't like about the upcoming title.

1. The Darker Tone.
While we love zombies and horror, Dead Rising 3 has taken a turn for the darker side of the apocalypse with the humor that we love taking second-place. We love the crazy shit that the game has to offer and don't like parting with even a smidge of it. The cartoonish look is now gone and replaced with realistic colors and tones to give a more realistic approach to the zombie apocalypse.

2. Exclusively on Xbox One.
We would have liked to seen the game explored on more consoles this holiday season with the option to play it on Xbox 360 as well. Some players won't have the cash to buy the Xbox One when it comes out and those fans shouldn't be skipped over.

3. Removal of Time.
Capcom wants players to focus more on the zombies than the time factor in Dead Rising 3. Players will run through darkened neighborhoods and slay zombies in horrific ways with no real motivation to keep moving forward. Dead Rising 3 will feature a more open-world experience, and players will only be able to experience some of the same pressure that time limits delivered in Nightmare Mode.

Dead Rising 3 is attempting to be a game geared more toward Call of Duty fans and while that might appeal to some--we are not particularly fond of the new direction. What do you think?

Buffet Bliss or Southern Swing-and-a-Miss? A Bite at Kacey’s in Huntsville

  Walk through the doors of Kacey’s Country Cooking in Huntsville and you’re greeted by the comforting smell of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread that could double as perfume for any true Southerner. This is where the buffet line reigns supreme, the sweet tea flows endlessly, and dessert is always just an arm’s reach away. For many locals, Kacey’s is a comfort food paradise. Fans brag about the fried green tomatoes, juicy pork chops, slow-cooked beef tips, and banana pudding that deserves its own holiday. The staff are another highlight—quick with refills, friendly enough to feel like family, and the kind of people who can make a buffet feel like Sunday dinner at grandma’s. But Kacey’s has its critics too. Some diners rave about “the best bang for your buck in town,” while others complain that the food sometimes veers into “straight-from-the-can” territory. Like most buffets, it’s a roll of the dice: hit the line on a good day and you’ll be full and happy; catch it on an...
