I had no idea that duct tape was so central to Dead Rising 2's gameplay that Capcom would heavily promote it in the launch trailer.

Video Blips:

• Here is Dead Rising 2's premise: A former motocross star must fight through hordes of zombies in order to find a cure for his infected daughter. On the way, he'll kill more zombies just for the hell of it.

Continue after the break for a developer interview for DMC, a look at some Mega Man Universe gameplay, and a preview of the awesome Metroidvania-style La-Mulana.

• Tameem Antoniades, creative director for the latest Devil May Cry installment DMC, cites contemporary movies as inspiration for the series' reboot. In other words, it's not just a coincidence that the new Dante looks like he could be the lead in the next Twilight movie. [GameTrailers]

• Apparently the "bad box art" Mega Man from the other day ago is actually a playable character in Mega Man Universe. I thought that video was a gag. Could this game be any cooler?

• I have a Bitmob writing challenge for folks interested in La-Mulana for WiiWare: Try to write an article about this game without using the words "Metroid," "Castlevania," or "Metroidvania."
