1UP: House of the Dead Overkill Review

1UP writes: "If you are under the age of 18, House of the Dead: Overkill is not for you. In fact, you shouldn't even be reading this review. Overkill is filled with things that would not appeal to adolescents, such as strippers, zombies exploding in sprays of blood, and extensive use of the words "d*ck" and "f*ck." I recommend a more wholesome, but still excellent, Wii title such as Super Mario Galaxy or Zack And Wiki. Have fun!"

Didn't realize they would put an adult game on the Wii. Hmmm may have to join the masses of casual gamers out there and finally buy one.....love the Rodriguez/Tarantino style of it. Surpised that this is on the Wii..... Who would've THUNK it :) LOL (if only the wii were a true next gen machine in terms of graphics and power..... I have to give it to them for the controls though.... hell may freeze over this week...when I pick up a Wii.)

LMAO @tapeworm... You didnt think they'd put an M rated game on Wii? Where have you been living for the last 3 years under a rock? Godfather,scarface, No more heroes, Far cry and a few other M rated games have bene out for a while now. Seriously where do you get your gaming news from? Cracker Jack boxes?

I actually haven't kept up with the Wii at all since it's launch...I have played the PS3 and 360.... but have mainly been about the PS3. I had no idea far cry and godfather were on the Wii and I am sure most of the people that own the PS3 and 360 will tell you the same.

The Wii is a "Casual Machine" and many people out there own them... you know...Older People that like bowling (Rest Homes across america have bought thousands of Wii's) and Kids that like to "Boom" blocks (parents buy these as baby sitters in a box)

...but, of the people that I know that own them, (most are parents that "bought them for the kids") They do like it....there are a few games that have been mentioned to me as "True Gamer" material...the metroid title, the main Zelda title and the Resident Evil 4 enhanced game, and now the house of the dead....but to put the Wii in a league with the other two consoles just is rediculous....it is a last gen machine (in terms of graphics and HD compatibility) with new controls. The other two machinces are in a completely different catagory. I am not saying that the Wii is bad at all, I am just saying it is different and shouldn't be compared to the PS3 and 360. The reason sales are so "High" for the Wii is mainly pricepoint and the massive influx of "Casual Gamers" this "1.5" gen.

So, I haven't been living under a rock and I get my gaming info from various reliable sources, but if I were going to research the Wii, I may start by looking in a crackerjack box. :)

Wow, I really did not have the best of expectations for this title, but it will probably be a buy for me, I love cheesy grindhouse flicks with over-the-top nonsense, glad to see this is being reviewed well!
