House of the Dead enters the relentlessly vulgar world of low-budget Grindhouse cinema with Overkill, a crusty, hyper-grisly homage to 70s exploitation horror films like "I Spit on Your Grave" and "Cannibal Holocaust". Its basically a video game equivalent to Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez "Grindhouse". The good news is that the game still plays like a regular House of the Dead game-the dev team just cranked up the abundance of gore, f-bombs, and cleavage shots. Grindhouse of the Dea...

Me and 'The House Of The Dead' have a sort of love-hate relationship going on. I love how it has provided me with hour upon hour of top notch zombie slaying action since I was a toddler. I hate how it has sucked up £312 in loose change over the years...

Finally, an on-rail shooter for the Wii thats not afraid to irritate sensibilities. Although best played with a good adaptor such as the AMS Hand Cannon, theres huge fun to be had even with the conventional Wii controllers...
The humour. Killing zombies is satisfying. The combo meter elicits tension and excitement.
Boss battles are boring.

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 sai...
