As any good zombie hunter knows, the Crossbow is the ideal weapon to
use against zombies. It punches a hole straight into the brain, the
ammunition is reusable, and, most importantly, it's quiet. Very quiet.
Shoot a gun and every walker between here and Atlanta will start
shambling towards you - but the twang
of a crossbow bolt is quiet enough to let you take down the undead like
a pro. That is, unless you strap an explosive to the bolt, as is the
case in this new trailer for the PS3 version of House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut. But, heck, we're
not complaining. Bring on the boom!
Blowing up does have its advantages, though. Even though it removes the stealth option, it turns a simple crossbow into a screen-clearing attack. As the video shows, shooting an explosive bolt into a shambling zombie will cause a nice boom that is big enough to take down any enemies, around, no matter how big they are. Well, to a point. Some of the bosses in Overkill are absolutely massive, and we have a feeling it's going to take more than a stick with a grenade stuck to it to take them down.
