Prior to the launch of Capcom’s Dead Rising 2, we were invited to a party where not only did we get to hang out with Playstation’s own Amped from season 1 of The Tester, but we also got to get some early hands-on time with Dead Rising 2. Now with the game on store shelves, and Halloween just around the corner, we figured it was time to share the event and some swag with you.

When your city is being over run by zombies, what better place to turn than the Greene’s Hardware store where you can get hot deals on all forms of weapons, from gun holding teddy bears, to dual machine gun equipped wheel chairs?

That’s exactly what this Capcom party had in store for us. Not only were there plenty of props to run around and take pictures with, but there was Dead Rising 2 hooked up to 46″ Sony Bravias for our pleasure as well.

Of course when we weren’t taking pictures or playing Dead Rising 2, we were busy constructing our own ultimate apocalypse gun. The challenge was the following: you and 4 other people had 1 minute to design the ultimate zombie killing gun with the materials on hand. After that, you had to present it to the audience and they would choose the winner.

The winner of course not only got to keep their zombie killing weapon, but got a copy of Dead Rising 2 and some swag. Now, we don’t have copies of Dead Rising 2 to give away, but we do have plenty of swag. More on that in a minute. Other fun activities of the night included food, drinks, and a DJ who brought the beat down and let some break dancers take the stage and battle it out.

Now for all you Halloween and zombie lovers, send us your best zombie-related picture and the top 4 entries will win a Dead Rising 2 swag box. Either email us (Sonyrumors@bebicorp.com) or hit us up on Twitter or Facebook with a picture showing your zombie love and get creative! Winners will be contacted on October 31st!
