* ''[[The House of the Dead (series)|House of the Dead: Overkill]]'' might just be better than the original series. The original series (at least the first two parts of it) consisted of [[Dull Surprise|English VAs literally reading Engrish text]], loads of "satanic" and [[Tarot Motifs]], and a lot of zombies in jeans walking shirtless...For dessert, it got its inspiration from horror B-movies. Overkill...makes it ''even more'' of a B-movie, except it get inspirations from places where the original series '''didn't'''. Namely, the ''[[Grindhouse]]'' films. The [[Not Using the Zed Word|mutants]] now include a foul-mouthed two-headed beast, an ''extremely'' loud girl who holds an uncanny physical resemblance to the ghost from ''[[Chakushin Ari]]'' (to the extent that Caesar [[It Makes Sense in Context|fed his phone to her]]), bloody nurses and, of course, a cussy prison warden called Clement [[Running Gag|MOTHERFUCKING]] Darling. Add a film grain and ''everything'' [[Porn with Plot|(well, almost everything)]] ''Grindhouse'' had, and you get Overkill. And all this was developed by the British company Headstrong Games. |
