Grindhouse Inspired "House of the Dead Overkill" Trailer


I want to take this time to thank Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez for existing on this planet.

If it weren't for you two, we wouldn't have spectacular marketing like THIS. Below is the European trailer for Sega's "House of the Dead Overkill" for the Nintendo Wii.

The trailer is all kinds of fun with a distinctive grindhouse b-movie style complete with distressed film effects, scantily glad women, drive-in promotions, zombies and violence aplenty.

From the Sega website houseofthedeadoverkill.com the game boasts:
• Pulp Funk Horror Zombie cool, one of the most popular shooter classics injected with a whole new retro b-movie look.

• An utterly in-your-face zombie-dismembering blast
Non-stop light-gun style action on Wii, blow apart zombies for high-score thrills.

• Superb co-op action on Wii
Bring a friend and play the game as intended in your own buddy action movie as two of the meanest mofos in video gaming.

• Relentless, gore-drenched, over-the-top action
Only the coolest, most cold-hearted agent’s going to keep his head against the zombie flood. Use “Slow-Mofo Time” to make the perfect head-popping shot and “Evil Eye” to spot moments of opportunity that’ll send the whole environment up in flames.

• Wiimote reactions
Get knee-deep in the dead with motion-sensitive Wii-controls. Shuck a shotgun and when the zombies get too close, pistol whip jaws off or cave some heads in with the stock of your pump-action – all in stomach-churning close-up.
I tell ya what... I don't even know if the game is going to be good. But I can at least appreciate this trailer. Check it out below.
