Yeah, I realized that too, after.  I couldn't remember that one word... I kept just thinking through it in my head.  I even knew the number of syllables, but replaced it with a nonsense word.  As soon as I got the clue, I fit the word in.
 
Sad.

Ack.  #2 is a good one.
Here's the thing... you know the answer.  You do.  So just go there.  
I didn't want to go there, because it didn't make sense, but I finally gave up and figured there was something I was missing.  When I got there, I saw the answer, got the credit, and realized that I *HAD* heard of this character with that name, when Sonic first came out.  Early English translation say so.  And then it's connection to "Balanced Breakfast" made sense.
 
Well played, GiantBomb.

Just figured out #2.
It's another paper D&D monster.
And when you're on the page, it does show you games that have it.
It's most common in Bioware RPG's like Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights.

The hint for #4 on the first post is accurate.
I'm kicking myself because I knew the monster and couldn't remember the name.
It's much easier to get if you played actual paper D&D, because it's considered a weaker, starter monster.

Is that how it is these days?  If you want to lure people into buying your game you have to include zombies?

I think games should be rated on a technical scale, for things like graphics and sound and control, but also be given another rating for the overall enjoyability of the game.  While it complicate the decision for some, I think it accurately reflects that some games have a low production quality but end up being excellent games.
 
That being said, as one of the first responders to this thread already wrote, if you don't mind the quirks of the Dead Rising games, you will thoroughly enjoy this one.  Last night, playing co-op, seeing a grown man in a ninja outfit riding a child's tricycle through a mass of zombies was worth the tears and laughter that followed.

I'm not an achievement Nazi, but I do like getting 100% of a game completed.  That being said, I'm really getting worked up over Dead Rising 2's notification system.
You can't find survivors unless you're notified of them first, and even though the day and time is the same, I get different scoops based on criteria I'm not aware of.
Sucks.
