House of the Dead Overkill was released for the Nintendo Wii two years ago, and it remains one of our favorite games for the system, although it's tragically overlooked. Thankfully, we're drawing close to Halloween and Sega has updated the graphics for the PlayStation 3, added some bonus content, and re-released the game with support for the PlayStation Move.

So what's new? First, the game looks much better, and there are two brand-new levels and more collectibles to find throughout the levels. The Move is a great fit for this sort of lightgun game, and the wonderfully profane writing and grindhouse-style jokes remain. This is a game that delights in its "Mature" rating, and doesn't pull any of its goofy punches in the name of good taste.

Here is a quick trailer for the new levels. Warning: strippers.

The dialog is funny, the characters are all stereotypes, and you get more points for destroying multiple bad guys without missing a shot. Things get even more fun if you get a friend to join you.

The game supports either the PlayStation Move or a standard controller. You may be able to play without the Move, but I wouldn't recommend it; aiming directly at your targets with your Move controller is much more fun.

The game also supports 3D if you have a newfangled TV, and even if you don't, you can play the game with the retro-style red and blue glasses. There are also leaderboards so you can see how well you're killing the zombies in comparison to everyone else. After playing through a few levels of the game again I can vouch for how much fun this is, and at $40 the price is right as well. Heck, as of this writing the game is $30 on sale.

My one complaint: if you jerk the Move controller in one direction it seems to knock the calibration out of whack, but this can be fixed by hitting the select button on the side of the controller. It's not a huge deal-breaker, but I did find it annoying.

This sort of gleefully nasty and violent game is hard to do well—see Duke Nukem Forever for an example of a game that failed—but this hits all the right notes. If you like cursing and shooting at things until they explode, this is your game.
