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?
