Sometimes you need some variation in how you go about slaying the undead.
For those of you in this mindset, the cool cats at Capcom is slated to add a new feature to their popular zombie-slaying title in which players will be able to play as Brad, Frank West's sometimes-partner/sometimes-antagonist in Dead Rising Mobile for Apple's iOS-based devices.
In Dead Rising Mobile, you take on the role of Frank West, a freelance photojournalist on the hunt for the scoop of a lifetime, pursues a juicy lead to a small suburban town only to find that it is being overrun by the undead.
Following the classic Romero style, you'll escape to the local mall believing it to be safe only to encounter an endless stream of enemies that must be fought off with any mall item you can get your hands on.
While a final version for the updated Dead Rising Mobile that allows for Brad as a playable character has yet to be announced, the app retails for $6.99 an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad or third generation iPod touch running iOS 4.1 or later to install and run.
