The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return<\/em><\/a> was good fun, but as a compilation of past series entries rather than something fresh and new it wasn’t exactly fit for fans who had already played the games to death in past incarnations. Now, though, Sega and Headstrong Games are working on a brand-new installment exclusively for the Wii called The House of the Dead: OVERKILL<\/em><\/a>, a prequel to the entire series promising to reinvent the light-gun franchise with a new “pulp horror” style akin to the Robert Rodriguez\/Quentin Tarantino flick Grindhouse<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to do something really different with The House of the Dead: OVERKILL,\u201d commented Bradley Crooks, Studio Head at Headstrong Games. \u201cWith SEGA, we\u2019ve been able to create a fresh look for the franchise. I think you\u2019ll agree it\u2019s like nothing you\u2019ve seen before on Wii.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe refreshing new visual style, bold art direction and visceral gameplay of The House Of Dead: OVERKILL truly makes it standout on the Wii,\u201d says Sean Ratcliffe, Vice President of Marketing for SEGA of America, Inc. \u201cSEGA is committed to delivering unique gameplay experiences and The House of the Dead: OVERKILL certainly qualifies as one of our most innovative SEGA games coming to the Wii.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The House of the Dead: OVERKILL<\/em> is scheduled to ship in spring 2009. Get a load of the pulpy, hardcore unveil trailer on the jump.<\/p>\n
