Dead Rising 4

The emergent magic is gone, and these aren’t the characters or the kind of Dead Rising game you remember, but…zombies at Christmas is its own thing.

Dead Rising 4 was released December 6th 2016 on Windows and Xbox (with a Steam Release coming in March 2017, and a PS4 with all the DLC titled Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package, on December 5th 2017), and was meant to be a return to form for the franchise. The heavily Christmas themed game would bring back Frank West, the original’s protagonist, and take him back to the shopping mall in Willamette Colorado where the zombie outbreaks began. However, neither the fan service or window dressing would be enough to salvage what’s ultimately the thinnest, least-like Dead Rising game in the series.

Dead Rising 3

In November 2013, seven years after the original Dead Rising and three years after Dead Rising 2, Capcom Vancouver would deliver Dead Rising 3; a game in a tug of war with the times and technology, and one ultimately unsure of how much it should embrace, or reinvent, its own roots.

How to Dress for a Rainy Day

Valuations are quite high and could spur financial instability, Janet Yellen told us yesterday. The question on the lips of the attendees at my recent Strategic Investment Conference was how to hedge their portfolios in a world of increasing volatility. For the last two years, my associate Worth Wray and I have been examining ways to design core strategic portfolios that are both robust and…

Hoisington Quarterly Review and Outlook: First Quarter 2015

I think it was almost two years ago that I was in Cyprus. Cyprus had just come through its crisis and was still in shell shock. I was there to get a feel for what it was like, and a number of my readers had courteously arranged for me to meet with all sorts of people and do a few presentations. A local group arranged for me to speak at the lecture hall of the Central Bank of Cyprus in Nicosia.

Germany’s Trade Surplus Is a Problem

In Code Red I wrote a great deal about trade imbalances among the various European countries, which were at the heart of the European sovereign debt problem. As the peripheral countries have tried to rebalance their trade deficits with Northern Europe and especially with Germany, they have seen their relative wages fall and deflation become a problem. Greece is the poster child.
