Weekly Recap Dec 10th: Dead Rising 3 Rumor, Haptic Touchscreen Tech, Spike VGAs

Capcom drops some hints about a possible Dead Rising 3, complete with a brand new working-class hero. Senseg announced their new touchscreen technology that enables users to actually feel what it is they see on-screen...is that not high-tech or what? And today is Spike TV's airing of the annual VGAs, which is bound to have a lot of surprises, groin jokes of poor taste and C-class celebrities who would probably rather be elsewhere than at an awards show about video games. These stories and more in this December 10th, 2011 edition of the Gaming Blend Weekly Recap.
