House of the Dead: Overkill getting PS3 port
Sega is releasing a PS3 version of House of the Dead: Overkill, which will add HD and 3D support, plus two new scenarios. It's due in late October in the US and Europe.
Because you can never have too many zombie games, Sega announced today that the B-movie inspired Wii game House of the Dead: Overkill is getting a PlayStation 3 Extended Cut version. The game is set for October 25 in the US, and October 28 in Europe.
As you may imagine, the previously Wii-exclusive title will utilize the PS3's Move peripheral. House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut polishes up the visuals with HD and 3D support as well as includes two new scenarios. The game will be shown off at E3, but our first peak are some screenshots provided today.
"The House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut for the PlayStation 3 system will send players to the shrieking mad heart of mutant mayhem," said Sega VP of marketing Gary Knight. "This time we went further, faster, and bloodier than before. We extended everything, even the title."
The game's consciously campy motif and rail shooter gameplay led to generally favorable reviews on the Wii, so this PS3 version might be a good opportunity for undead aficionados to catch up.

Me and a pal worked through 2 crates of beer and bottle of rum playing that from start to end. Despite being shitfaced by the end and enjoying the whole thing, I seem to remember some horrific slowdowns / fps loss in places.
If there were some decent (and reasonably priced) lightguns for the ps3 I'd buy this in an instant.

I'd always wanted to pick up Typing of the Dead. It seemed like a good fun way to learn to type.

It has to be the reason it's being released at all.

Best news I've heard coming out of the SONY camp in the last year.
I'll be buying this day one. I told all my gamer friends that if SONY was going to steal from Nintendo they might as well steal some of the best stuff and not just the controllers.
KUDOS MAN!
Now I'll have both versions.
