The House of the Dead: Overkill
The House of the Dead: Overkill for the wii charges you with mowing down waves of infected, blood-thirsty zombies in a last-ditch effort to survive Bayou City and uncover the horrific truth behind the origins of the House of the Dead. Overkill serves as a prequel to the first game in the series, and takes place in the year 1991 where Special Agent G--the protagonist of The House Of The Dead series--is given his first assignment fresh out of the AMS academy. Teamed up with hard-boiled Detective Washington, they are sent to investigate stories of mysterious disappearances in a small town in Louisiana; however, little do they know about the blood-soaked mutant depravity that awaits them in the streets and swamps of Bayou City.

- Review: The House of the Dead: Overkill
- House of the Dead enters the relentlessly vulgar world of low-budget Grindhouse cinema with Overkill, a crusty, hyper-grisly homage to 70's exploitation horror films like "I Spit on Your Grave" and "Cannibal Holocaust". It's 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.
