The site, GamePolitics.com has been going through records from federal courts for insights into Midway's financial meltdown. Boiling down that Midway claims $167,523,000 in assets versus $281,033,000 in liabilities.

The list of Midway's 30 top heavy hitting creditors is staggering. Among these, Wells Fargo Bank has the most to lose as Midway owes them $150,000,000 from unsecured loans.

Get Lost... and Damned! 

Plenty of people are complaining about the price of The Lost and the Damned, though 20 bucks for up to 15 hours of new campaign sounds like a good deal to me. Rockstar is also offering a handful of new multiplayer modes, exclusive to the pack. Apart from Free Mode and Deathmatch, these modes are unique to The Lost and the Damned, which is good news for folks that are a little sick of running through Mafia over and over again.

Zombies Were People Too! 

Yesterday, because it was spent sleeping and I missed it; Capcom® confirmed that Dead Rising 2 is on the way out as the following press release from Capcom® states.

London – February 9, 2009 - Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today confirmed that Dead Rising™ 2 is in development for three different gaming platforms: the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Sony Computer Entertainment’s PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) and the PC. The sequel to the 1.5 million-plus selling Dead Rising™, Dead Rising 2 will take the franchise to a new level of zombie-killing fun with tens of thousands of zombies, the all new gambling paradise of Fortune City to explore and conquer plus a host of new in-game objects that can all be used as deadly weapons to stave off the zombie assault.

Did Hell Just Freeze Over?

Okay, look, I am going to be frank when I say that I quite often I "disagree" with the things Adam Sessler has to say. Okay, "disagree" is a nice word. But, I am not one to deny swallowing my issues when I agree with someone. If anything, I play Devil's Advocate most of the time. In the gaming journalism industry it's pretty much par for the course that there are going to be heads that butt and differences in opinion. There's nothing new here.

Kijuju A Go-Go 

Life started today on a good note when I checked my email to find that Capcom has finally given a date for the Resident Evil 5 demo. PS3 owners are probably going to be ticked off to hear that it’s coming to the 360 for an “exclusive premiere”.

On January 26^th you can download a two level playable demo with three co-op options (player and CPU, two players local and two players over Xbox Live).

There’s also promised to be a new fancy “exclusive hi-def trailer” on the 16^th. Although this trailer has already been seen at the Tokyo Game Show in 2008.

Though anything Xbox will tell you that they see nothing for a PlayStation 3 demo, but after this exclusive week is over you can bet something will pop up.

Editor's Note: The PS3 demo for RE5 is slated for the week of Feb. 5th currently. If anything changes, we will let you know.
