The House of the Dead: Overkill Has Zombie Nurses, Too
The House of the Dead series has never been known for its sex appeal — though the sexual tension between Amy Crystal and Harry Harris in The House of the Dead 2 was deliciously thick. But that doesn't mean Sega can't try to get a rise out of us. To wit, zombie nurses in new screens for The House of the Dead Overkill. They happen to be disgustingly un-sexy, decaying, frumpy and seriously lacking in the overflowing cleavage at which Silent Hill's art teams are so expert. More »

Games Convention 2008
Sega Wins Kotaku's Coveted "Best Press Kit Of Games Convention" Award
Sega whipped up an exceedingly clever Games Convention press kit for the just announced The House of the Dead Overkill. Capitalizing on the '70s horror schlock style of the on-rails Wii shooter, Sega stuffed a horrific post card and The House of the Dead t-shirt into a custom VHS sleeve case. Yes, that little brick is wearable — just add water. We've secured two of these schwag boxes for future contests. Start brushing up on your The House of the Dead dialogue, kids. Oh, and check out the half-dozen pics of the press kit in our gallery below. -

The House of the Dead Overkill Impressions Of Delicious Gore
About a third of the way in through the Carnival Of Fun stage in The House of the Dead Overkill, Bradley Crooks from Headstrong Games decimated a severed arm stuck in a cotton candy machine. It exploded in a sweet, sickly mess, adding to the heavy amount of gore we'd already seen in the Wii "light gun" shooter. It's also potentially the first game to feature a "live birth" on the Wii, so don't expect an E rating (or a German release). More »

House of Dead 2 & 3 Return Bundle Going Japanside
Despite beating both games countless times in arcades, this The House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return bundle may be reason enough to pick up a Wii Zapper. Featuring two of Sega's famous shooters, the newly announced pack will include the already announced games along with Nintendo's newest Zapper casing for about $44 when it's released this March in Japan. Here's hoping the bundle makes its way stateside, since the game alone is currently priced at about $40. For $4, the Wii Zapper doesn't look all that bad (or difficult to stuff into my entertainment center). More »

House of the Dead Series Shuffling To Wii
Ghost Squad may not be the only arcade light gun shooter Sega plans to refit for the Wii Zapper, as Go Nintendo has uncovered a listing for House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return at rental service Gamefly. We can fairly safely assume that this will bring both The House of the Dead 2, based on the Sega Naomi hardware, and The House of the Dead III, originally for the Sega Chihiro hardware. The two titles have made console appearances on the Dreamcast and Xbox, respectively, but have never been bundled before. More »

Sega Shakes Up Arcade Gaming. Literally.
Arcade gaming dead? Not quite. Sega has rolled out House of the Dead 4 Special for Japan and Europe. Players can either have a go as House of the Dead 2's James Taylor or new character Kate Green. Outfitted with two 100 inch XGA projector screens, the game runs on Sega's Lindbergh CG arcade board, and the cabinet puts players in a twirling, vibrating seat-belted seat. Think: Giant rumble pack! So when zombie attack, burst of air are blown on players faces, and things shake. Good to see some people still give a flip about the arcade experience. More »

Uwe Boll Ain't Heavy
So I watched House of the Dead last night and I'm starting to think you guys need to find another director to pick on. OK, so it was mostly crap, but did you expect Saving Private Ryan from a plot about a bunch of zombies killing people? Sure, this wasn't even up to George Romero standards, but it was a enjoyable trip and it seemed like everyone making it had a lot of fun. I think I actually enjoyed House of the Dead more than BloodRayne. More »
