Frank West returns in Xbox 360 exclusive Dead Rising 2 DLC

By Ryan Fleming September 16, 2010

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 adds Red Dead Redemption 2, loses Grand Theft Auto V

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.

How to revive dead companions in Baldur’s Gate 3

Withers offering services to the player in Baldur's Gate 3.

You're given a good bit of leeway during battles in Baldur's Gate 3 before you or a companion actually bites the dust for good. While in battle, if a teammate does take enough damage to drop, they aren't dead then and there. Instead, they will be downed with a chance to roll every turn to get back up. If they roll successfully three times, the battle ends, or you use another character to pick them up, they're good. If they fail that roll three times, however, they will be completely dead. That can be harsh when you've become attached to certain characters and want to further their stories, so you'll be looking for any way you can to bring them back. Thankfully you do have a few options for reviving companions in Baldur's Gate 3, but just like respeccing, they aren't so obvious.
Pay Withers to bring them back

Withers is a friendly undead you can find in a secret room in the Dank Crypt found inside the Overgrown Ruins. After finding and speaking to him in his sarcophagus, he will offer you various services, one of which is bringing back any dead companions. He won't do this out of the kindness of his heart (probably because it isn't beating) and will charge you a heavy fine of 200 gold to do so. Still, that's a small price to pay to bring back a beloved character. Once paid, that character will appear in your camp where they would normally be, so there's no need to go back to their corpse and find them.
