House of the Dead: Overkill  Posted: 02/20/09  Last year, Sega
tested the waters for Wii rail shooters with ports of Ghost
Squad and House of the Dead 2 and 3. Now it's enlisted
Headstrong Games to create the all-new House of the Dead:
Overkill. Does it stink of rotten flesh or make a mother proud?
This tale is definitely not to be taken seriously. Embracing the
cheesiness of the previous games and infusing it with a
grindhouse vibe, Overkill is practically a parody of itself.
Even Agent G's enigmatic name is made fun of multiple times.
Every conceivable element goes way over the top. G's partner
Isaac Washington constantly drops the F-bomb. There's a hot
chick on a motorcycle named Varla Guns, and villain Papa Caesar
makes hardly any sense with his bad accent and off-beat
analogies. In one scene, G has to shove his hand into the gut of
a defeated monster to answer Caesar's enormous cell phone, and
the shocking final boss has no fear of sexual depravity. It's
vulgar, it's disgusting, and it's hilarious.  Ov
