  • Abstract:  In a recent panel interview with noted gaming journalists N`Gai Croal and Stephen Totilo, Bethesda's Todd Howard compared the Wii to a "Teddy Ruxpin toy." Now, a game like Fallout 3, without a doubt, offers an amazing journey to undertake. However, someti...

  • You really have to play House of the Dead: Overkill, in some form or another. I’ll understand if the economic crisis has rendered you unwilling to buy a game you can finish before your scabs dry, or if you have some kind of innate grudge against having...

  • Abstract:  Light-gun shooters have seen a bit of revival on the Wii, with the light gun being replaced by the Wii Remote pointer controls. Most have been met with middling reviews and tepid sales, with the notable exception of Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronic...

  • The House of the Dead: Overkill is a game like no other, it’s a totally F’d up gore-fest of blood and carnage, and that’s a good thing! Overkill is a game that most will enjoy playing, and it’s a game that many people will hate, in...

  • Abstract:  The House of the Dead: Overkill is inappropriate for individuals under 17. From the racy striptease opening sequence to its profanely incestuous conclusion, this title fully embraces its mature themes--and is a fun, engaging, satisfying adventure/acti...

  • Abstract:  What a pleasant surprise this version of House of the Dead is compared to the previous arcade versions. I’m sure last time I checked Quentin Tarantino was a movie director and not a game producer. It looks like Dusk till Dawn has been remade for your ...

  • Abstract:  The House of the Dead titles are one of the few light gun shooters that have had a pretty successful run on home consoles when it comes to ports from their Arcade brothers, so it's nice to see a developer take a stab at making a console specific HotD t...

  • Abstract:  House of the Dead: Overkill is a pleasant surprise on many levels. Surprisingly gory, surprisingly transfixing for all its simplicity, surprisingly playable for a "Light Gun" game that doesn't actually use a Light Gun but instead the motion-sensitive W...
