CLUCKIN’ BELL – GTA SAN ANDREAS
In 2004, Rockstar threw the kitchen sink
at players when it came to filling out the
world of San Andreas. The city’s stores
were completely functional, and clothing
and hairstyle options were extensive. The
game also gave you a wide range of fast
food restaurants, so you could do drive-
thrus as well as drive-bys. Each menu at
the various, typically American, eateries
were ranked 0-4 for calorie-intake. A
salad option was available, but we loved
the Cluckin’ Huge fried chicken meal from
Clucking Bell and Full Rack pizza from Well
Stacked Pizza, while Burger Shot was the
perfect place to pile on the pounds and
make ‘Fat Carl’ via a couple or three Beef
Stacks, washed down with a Sprunk soda.
Luckily you could burn it all off at the gym.
SPORTING GOODS –
DEAD RISING
The king of Xbox shopping games has to be Capcom’s
zombie slayer, which gives you an entire mall full of shops.
Although you can’t technically exchange money for goods
and services at the Willamette Parkview Mall, you can
utilise its merchandise for some entertaining zombie
splattering. There are toy stores, bookshops, camera shops
and clothing boutiques, and you can happily shop for new
outfits and pick up items to use as weapons in all of them.
Our favourite store is the sporting goods store, in which you
can find baseball bats, golf clubs, skateboards and bowling
balls, all of which can be put to good use separating undead
head from shambling body. Dick’s Sporting Goods is the first
place we’re headed in a zombie apocalypse. Although the
music store would be next, because smacking zombies with
fretless bass guitars is our favourite thing to do.
