Originally, The House of the Dead was a 1997 light-gun arcade machine from Sega. Whatever the reason, the PS3 catalog is far better off for this HD remake of a Wii cult classic. For all I know, funding Overkill's development was a cheaper option than all those inpatient psychiatry bills for studio staff. Sometimes, developers focused on creating art trainers and movie tie-in titles for the Nintendo DS must cut loose. When a studio can take this much cultural trash and make it not only hilarious but also a great deal of fun to play, it's certainly on to something. The dialogue isn't profanity-laced it's profanity-saturated - immersed in a vast lexicon of dirty words and every possible combination thereof. The game is filled with every visual indiscretion of the filthiest NC-17 exploitation cinema, save for actual sex acts. If it weren't for Headstrong Games' pitch-perfect sense of hyperbolic humor, Overkill would be almost unplayable for most gamers with a conscience. For evidence that video games are undermining the foundation of contemporary society, lawmakers need to look no further than The House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut.
