If you can't get enough of Dead Rising, Capcom has another standalone DLC headed your way this December. Titled, Dead Rising: Case West, this DLC sees the return of the original game's Frank West and the return of the much requested photography feature missing from the sequel:

"Set immediately after the events of Dead Rising 2 and available exclusively on Xbox LIVE, Dead Rising 2: CASE WEST sees Frank team up with Chuck Greene for some serious co-op action as the pair embarks on a brand new case set in the Phenotrans Facility on the outskirts of Fortune City...

Wherever he finds himself Frank is always ready to capture the moment with his trusty camera and Dead Rising 2: CASE WEST is no exception. Frank AND Chuck are now able to take photographs of key evidence that will provide indisputable proof of Phenotrans’ part in the zombie outbreaks, not just in Fortune City, but across the United States. As the story unfolds expect to see cameo appearances from other characters from Dead Rising that will provide further links to the original game."

If you haven't played the original, it may not sound like fun, but the return of the photography feature is definitely a welcomed addition and it was fun to play around with in the first game. Here is a screenshot, showing both of Dead Rising's heroes in action:
