The House of the Dead Overkill Big Bang Box infecting Australia |

| BY Jeremy Hill Jan. 21st, 2009 | More on: |

Our friends from down under will soon be getting a super cool The House of the Dead Overkill bundle from JB HI FI. For $89 (AUD) we get a collector’s sleeve for the game, a graphic novel called Prelude to an Overkill and two replica hand cannons used by the main character in the game. The guns apparently makes us feel like we’re actually firing a real gun. That’s exactly what the Wii needs! The game will be released on the online store on February 19, 2009. Why does Australia get two guns when the rest of us have to settle for just the comic book? Huh?
House of the Dead Overkill is a prequel to the original game and takes place in Louisiana. We’re investigating the disappearance of people in a small town whom have probably been turned into zombies. Overkill brings co-op play and a new slow motion ability to the Wii.

Thanks to Dom for the tip!

Australia, lucky B@$T@RDS! oh well I’m just looking forward to the game, and being a comic book fan, I’m down with that also.

I see you have an eye for things! A gun’s not just about shooting, it’s about reloadin’.
Living in Australia is probably as bad as living in Germany as a gamer..
You can buy the Hand Cannon seperately, at least in the UK, but the box is cheaper. What makes the set really awesome is the unlockable dual wield mode in Overkill!
Dreams coming true..

Dual wielding those monsters would be freakin fun. Still, I won’t be throwing away my Nerf gun just yet. It shoots real darts, yeah!!!! (too much?)

Hey man, Australia is the backside of the gaming (not to mention, musician touring) world. Games get censored, otehrs get banned, hell, pr0n is still illegal here (the cops just dont do anything about it). We deserve at least SOMETHING.
