Why Robin Makes Batman Better I might be playing through Resident Evil 5 in co-op. That is, assuming my friend managed to get his hands on the game. He made me promise not to play too far ahead on my own beforehand. But that didn’t work. Don’t tell him though.
I’ve never been a big fan of light-gun shooters, but House of the Dead: Overkill for Wii has changed that. Thinking about the reasons why, it’s not really the on-rails nature of the genre that has left me cold. Rather, it’s the style. For such a disposable type of game, few light-gun shooters have exploited that enough to bring a real sense of fun. The boisterous lunacy of Point Blank did. And now the trashy, expletive-filled, tongue-in-cheek Overkill does, too. I love it and will be playing it all weekend. What will you be checking out?

The game itself seems fairly standard HotD but the newly announced Collector’s Edition comes with a pulpy graphic novel that looks like one part Tarantino to two parts Sin City.
