We've got a quartet of videos showcasing some of the new weapons in Capcom's Dead Rising 2, but only one of them really matters. Ladies and gentlemen - the rake shotgun.

Don't get me wrong. The stick thingy, wheelchair, and explosive footballs you'll find in the clips below all look...nice. It's just that they can't quite compare to stabbing a zombie with a rake, lifting him the air, and then blowing him away with the attached shotgun. I'm not even sure if there is a better feeling in the world, and if there is, it should probably be heavily regulated.

Be sure to check out Crecente's hands-on with the game form the Tokyo Game Show for more things not as interesting as a rake taped to a shotgun.
