The House of the Dead originally debuted in the arcades in the mid nineties. The light gun game was quite a hit and it didn't take long for a sequel to appear in the arcades, complete with a black curtain which still remains wrapped around several arcade machines of House of the Dead II to this day. Years later a third title in the series was released and The House of the Dead series continues to this day, with the currently arcade exclusive The House of the Dead 4. With Sega already releasing one of their arcade light gun titles on the Wii, they have now released The House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return for the console as well, but do the two games still hold up well today or is it time the franchise stayed dead?
