The House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii)
May 19th
Awesome.
Still.
Finished the story with my wife last night, then leapt straight into the Director’s Cut version. I was expecting something terribly difficult, but we finished the first level without dying. Hooray!
Once we’d done that it was bedtime, but we played a quick go of the survival mini game before turning off the console. Goodness me, but there are a lot of zombies there! The riot cop zombies are just as annoying in that mode as they are in the main game. I’m really not sure how best to deal with them – shooting their shields seems to lose you your combo. Hmm.
Anyway, as I may have already said, this game is awesome.

Ah, yes, this is what I wanted.
Played through the first five levels with my wife last night and it was awesome. Lots and lots of zombies to shoot in the face (chest, arm, leg, etc.) and, well, that’s about it. A lovely grindhouse-style presentation and fast-paced, well-designed arcade action.
For my wife and me, that just about equals perfection.
