The House of the Dead: OVERKILL Brings Pulp Horror Action to Wii
LEIPZIG (August 19th, 2008) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced The House of the Dead: OVERKILL, an all-new pulp-horror reinvention of the classic SEGA light-gun shooter franchise. Created by London-based studio Headstrong Games, The House of the Dead: OVERKILL will take you right back to the beginning of this classic horror series. Available exclusively on the Nintendo Wii early in 2009 and announced to coincide with Games Convention at Leipzig, The House of the Dead: OVERKILL will be presented live by developer Headstrong Games for specially invited members of the press in SEGA’s business centre suite.
The House of the Dead: OVERKILL uncovers the ugly, terrifying, red hot secrets behind the House of the Dead; the daddy of all over-the-top shooters. While staying true to the classic gameplay this hugely successful SEGA series is getting a new retro look, with distinctive graphics, sound and attitude that will add to its horror cool status. Plus, thanks to the Wii Remote™, players will fight off zombies when they get too close; pistol-whipping jaws off and smashing in skulls with their shotgun butt.

Site updates coming around the bend
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Site updates | 0 comments
Good evening, readers. Wanted to provide a quick update about my upcoming plans with the site. There haven’t been 3D images in awhile, so I plan on putting another batch out soon. I’m not going to give away the game the pictures focus on, but let’s just say that the game involves Japanese mythology (I hope I didn’t just give it away right there!) I also plan on writing up an article/rambling thoughts post about the same game…I’ve completely fell in love with it. The vs. feature has been dead for a good while too, although I’m hoping to bring it back. If anyone has some ideas for the characters they want to see featured, send me an email through the contact form.
That’s all for now, but as always, if anyone has comments/questions/concerns, I’m always available for contact.

Activision Blizzard knows nothing of Web of Shadows on Wii
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Remember the early, promising footage of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows that actually looked like a decent Spider-Man game? Well, that’s all gone down under – for Wii owners, at least. MTV’s Stephen Totilo attempted to discover some information about the game on Nintendo’s console, but to no avail. In fact, it seems Activision Blizzard has no idea as to what’s going on with the game for the Wii, PS2, and PSP versions. From what it seems, Activision Blizzard is leaving those games up to the respective developers and aren’t really in-the-know when it comes to Web of Shadows, which is very strange.
I still have some faith in Web of Shadows on Wii. After Spider-Man 3, things can’t get much worse, can they?

Man, both Mushroom Men titles (for Wii and DS) are both looking like great products. If only other third-party developers put this much effort into their games!
