  • Abstract:  Calling all zombies – are we done yet? I thought we'd seen the last of you lot in Left4Dead. And Resident Evil 5. And Blood Siren. And the new download for Call of Duty. Seriously, aren't we nearing saturation point in terms of the undead's presence in...

  • Abstract:  The Nintendo Wii, eh? Everyone loves it. It’s got that Wii Fit on it, and the boxing one, and that Sonic Olympics game. It’s for kids, and people who have kids. And then you buy a copy of House of the Dead: Overkill and oh my god the intro is just a vi...

  • Great pacing, frantic and engaging, Stylish overthetop gore and funny script, Perfect game for the Wiimote, point and shoot, Finally, a hardcore Wii game!
  • Some slowdown Some weak boss battles
  • Gameplay is relentless and the zombies attack thick and fast. Despite some zombie clones rearing their ugly heads from time to time, there’s a nice variety of grisly animations to look forward to as well as an assortment of zombie types, including z...

  • BMovieStil, Guter Humor
  • kurze Spieldauer
  • Dieser Titel ist wohl ein gutes Beispiel dafür, dass sich ein Game, in dem massig Gewalt vorkommt, nicht über diese definieren muss. „House of the Dead“ bietet sowohl den Shooter- Fans unter Ihnen genug Action, um Sie bei Laune zu halten, als auch genu...
