The Wii's unique control system seems tailor made for light gun games and indeed we have seen a few make their way onto the console. Unfortunately a large percentage of these have been ports of arcade games. House of the Dead Overkill however is not one such port and instead of following on from its arcade/Dreamcast (ahhh how we miss that glorious console) siblings sends itself careering off a in wholly different direction

Jerry from BagoGames says, "Let's honor the passing of the horror-film inspiration George Romero with these five horror video games that remind me of his genius."
Adam from GamersFTW writes "Are zombie games meant to be fun, frightening or something else entirely? Zombie media these days is like rubbish after a particularly rough party; it’s everywhere and somebody really should clean it up. So in that spirit let’s better define the different types of games we have in this pile and what mood they’re best played in."
Never really thought about discretising zombie games in this way, but have played and enjoyed most of these for various reasons.
House of the Dead Overkill is a laugh. "Critics say it's mother-f***ing good!" Classic.
I definitely reccomend looking at Killing Floor 2. To me, it is the next big thing in survival horror. While it's not exactly "zombies" the horror factor mixed with co-op and customization makes it feel like a standalone CoD zombies title. I just feel as it is only on PC at the moment it doesn't get enough publicity.
I was gonna say "where's DayZ" but then I remembered I haven't really noticed the zombies' presence in DayZ for the last 3 years
Ahh, the first Wii game that looks up my street!
yeah know what you mean first Wii I have bought for nearly a year.
