Keiji Inafune, inventor of Mega Man and the genius behind Dead Rising has made a series of shorts based around his zombie-playground series called Dead Rising Sun.

The first three episodes of Dead Rising Sun are due to hit the interwebs in a week or so, but Xbox 360 owners can check it out now from Xbox Live as an exclusive preview (provided you're a Gold Member). The series was written and directed by Inafune-san (it's his film directorial debut) and he offers an introduction before Episode one, and concludes Episode three with a discussion on his motivations for making Dead Rising Sun. So Xbox 360 owners, grab some popcorn, sit back and check out some videogame-derived zombie film fun.
