A few days ago we reported on the announcement that PAL Wii owners would be in for a treat, with the limited edition House of the Dead: Overkill pack, which comes with a special graphic novel, based upon the game.
Many of you US owners were (understandably) upset with the news that the graphic novel would not make it to American shores. But the good news is that Sega has confirmed that it will in fact be arriving, but in a slightly different way.
More information and press release after the break.
Sega Europe announces adults-only HotD: Overkill pack
Posted by Graham. Filed under Europe, G, News, Nintendo Wii. Tagged with Adults-Only, Headstrong Games, House of the Dead, Overkill.
Sega Europe has just announced a very special adults-only House of the Dead: Overkill pre-order pack. The pack contains the game, limited edition slip case and (the best bit) a limited edition graphic novel.
The bad news is that it seems this deal is only available for PAL territories, so all you US fans could be out of luck. There is a possibility this could change, but right now the pack has only been announced for PAL regions.
Check after the break for full details and screenshots.
Hands-on preview: House of the Dead: Overkill

The more observant of you might have noticed my little Twitter message (see right-hand column on site), so hopefully some of you will have seen this coming.
Earlier this week, Sega Nerds was invited by those sexy chaps at Sega Europe to get some hands-on time with the upcoming Wii-exclusive House of the Dead: Overkill.
Unfortunately, as the game is still in development, I wasn’t able to play a full version. Instead my hands-on time was spent with a specially made demo, which contained just the second level from the game - Bayou County General Hospital.
While Overkill is the latest installment in the franchise, the game is actually a prequel to the original Arcade and Saturn title. Because of this earlier setting, developer Headstrong Games has opted to give the title a cheesy 1970’s horror movie vibe, complete with film grain effects, bad acting and some wonderfully over-the-top voice-overs.
Halloween Nerdaway: Winners announcement
Posted by Graham. Filed under G, News. Tagged with Contest, Halloween Nerdaway, House of the Dead, Overkill, Winners.
It’s time for us to announce the winners of our Halloween Nerdaway. But before we do, we have a bit of an extra surprise. Now, the more observant of you might think there is a mistake in that title, as we originally listed that the winner would win a House of the Dead: Overkill press kit and a limited edition t-shirt.
But you’d be wrong. It seems that Sega likes us so much, that they are in fact going to give out two sets of the original prize listed, which means we will have two winners for the contest! So another big thank you to Sega Europe for doubling the prizes, and for being so damn sexy.
Without further ado, I shall reveal our two winners of the “House of the Dead caption contest.”
