Dead Rising in Xbox Live demo

Does for you, like us, killing zombies fills your pants with throbbing joy? Then, fellow undead slaughterers, you should be extra-thrilled with knobs on to learn that a demo of Capcom's fantastic 360 splatterfest Dead Rising is shambling onto Xbox Live.

An arrival date for the demo has yet to be confirmed, but a spokesperson for Capcom's Euro arm informed us this morning that news on that should be released shortly - like within the next 48 hours.

Similarly, it's currently unknown precisely what game content will be in the demo, although we've been told to expect to be able to roam around the game's shopping mall - the main stage for the undead killing action - and, well, splatter zombie parts all over the place.

Dead Rising's an ultra-violent action game with plenty of black humour that finds freelance photographer Frank West battling undead hordes.
