Videogamer Preview: The House of the Dead: Overkill

James Orry writes:

''Rebooting a franchise has become a popular way to breathe new life into much loved, but perhaps ageing properties. Resident Evil 4 transformed the classic survival horror formula and was rewarded with strong sales and unanimous critical acclaim. You only have to look at Christopher Nolan's Batman movies - Dark Knight is already one of the most successful movies of all time - to see the the appeal.

This is exactly what Headstrong Games is hoping to achieve with SEGA's light-gun franchise, The House of the Dead. It's 9:05 on the first day of the Leipzig Games Convention and we're told this is one of the first times The House of the Dead: Overkill on Wii has been shown to press. It's obvious from the moment the game loads that we're about to see something very different to the classic HotD titles; fans of low-budget, gore-filled, b-movie horrors are in for a real treat.''

The 50 Best Nintendo Wii Games - Part Three

SuperPhillip Central writes, "We've already had two weeks totaling twenty unique Wii titles that are the best the system has to offer. We continue our look back at the Wii's library with ten more games spanning various genres and franchises like Donkey Kong, Kirby, Final Fantasy, and Resident Evil. It is my hope that with this list of fifty that the mindset of the Wii having a weak library is, well, weakened. It's a console with an overwhelming amount of variety and mass diversification within its collection of games. Let us see what the next ten highlights of the Wii's library are."
