Prepare to overkill the under-dead
Feb 10, 2009
We can only imagine the faces at the ratings boards when they popped their copy of Overkill into the glowing Wii slot. Seeing this kind of gore, language and politically incorrect humor spill from the Wii is like hearing a five-year-old cuss like a sailor – who’d have thought Nintendo’s friendly white box had it in it? ...

The House of the Dead: Overkill – hands-on
We enter the hospital of the dead for our first play session
Jan 12, 2009
Developers Headstrong are anything if not enthusiastic about Overkill. Sitting down for a hands-on session with a brand new level – a mutant outbreak in a hospital that makes MRSA look like TLC – we spotted a curious pre-level title card: ‘Presented in Slater Vision’. Chatting later to studio head Bradley Crooks we’re told that Slater is Mark Slater, the lead artist on the game. ...   » Read Full The House of the Dead: Overkill preview

i really liked playing this game especially with the zapper which makes shooting a lot easier. i felt like a kid in the arcade with the plastic gun and would have to shoot off to the side of the screen to reload! It's an arcade game that i dont have to spew quarters into its awesome. Downside i beat the game in less than a day definitely not worth buying it now maybe when its on the rack for 20 or used. But still a fun game
