Can Sega reboot the House of the Dead franchise with Overkill, by throwing in some Grindhouse elements?

House Of The Dead:Overkill, meanwhile, could almost be called House Of The Dead: Overhaul.

Throw in a fair level of effing and blinding, and family friendly entertainment this absolutely isnt.

And yet it works.

It really, really works.

But there are two caveats to that.

Its simply terrifically entertaining arcade gaming, the likes of which weve not seen enough of on the Wii.

What youre thus left with is a bit of a riot, all told.
